Breakfast Martini Sour is a cocktail that could easily take over Mimosa’s place as a go to cocktail for brunch and much more. It is a delicious drink, with the proper amount of booze, but nonetheless remains light and decadent. Perfect choice for brunch or as a tasty evening libation.
Cocktail base is formed by juniper forward London dry gin, a choice for many sour style cocktails. It is followed by a generous amount of lemon juice and touch of simple syrup - the classic build of a sour. Addition of orange marmalade is where things take a new and interesting turn. Marmalade delivers rich and concentrated orange flavour, also affecting the sour and bitter balance of the drink with egg whites offering that all important decadent foam texture.
I love to squeeze a twist of orange over this cocktail, to enhance the aromatic dimension as a final touch.
Breakfast Martini Sour is a remarkably simple and delicious cocktail sure to please a wide variety of cocktail drinkers, all the way from novices to seasoned experts.
