Breakfast Martini
Not the healthiest way to start the day but the Breakfast Martini is a delicious fruit Martini all the same. Orange Marmalade is the traditional way to spice up this cocktail, but an Orange and Tangerine Preserve delivers an extra citrus kick. Created by Salvatore Calabrese, with a nod to Harry Craddock's Marmalade Cocktail.
