Heaped Teaspoon Marmalade
35ml Dry Gin
Juice of half a lemon
Shake Vigorously with Ice
Strain and serve with a squeeze of orange rind (twist of orange)
For Gin I used Tanner's Hereford Gin and my Marmalade of choice was Shazzam's Gin & Tonic Marmalade.
It reminds me a little of a white lady but with a sweet orange tang, very crisp and perfect as pre-lunch cocktail. I particularly like the cleansing tartness of the citrus and the fact it is not too sweet.
Well done with the recipe. I tried it with Gordons Gin (40% strength), and Wilkin & Sons Ltd., "Old Times' Orange Fine Cut Marmalade". Very tasty, but I think that I would use less lemon juice next time, as I believe lemons now are huge in size compared to the ones I recall of old. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Maximillion, glad you enjoyed it. A green grocer friend once told me that the best lemons and limes were the ones that seemed heavy for their size.
ReplyDeleteBeing a recent convert to the marmalade cocktail, was pleased to see a scientific approach to this serious matter. Delighted to see Antarctic hero pictured on your banner.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful drink, thanks for share, I'm certainly can't get a bottle of that old, but i will try to get the oldest one i can find.
