About the Breakfast Martini
Salvatore Calabrese created it at the Lanesborough Hotel in London in 1996, inspired by his wife's marmalade on toast at breakfast.
Missing something?
- No Gin? Use Old Tom Gin (Sweeter and rounder, so cut the syrup a little)
- No Gin? Use Genever (Maltier and rounder)
- No Triple Sec? Use Grand Marnier (Richer and cognac-based, with less bright orange)
- No Triple Sec? Use Blue Curaçao (Same flavour, but turns the drink blue)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
