The Breakfast Martini is a sophisticated yet playful cocktail that brings a touch of morning indulgence to your evenings. This modern classic was created in the late 1990s by British bartender Salvatore Calabrese, drawing inspiration from his wife’s marmalade-on-toast breakfast routine. Featuring gin, orange marmalade, and citrus, it’s a zesty and slightly sweet concoction that’s perfect for brunch or a relaxed evening drink.
