Marmalade Martini Leighton Mattey from The Three Horseshoes in Madingley offers a recipe for an extra special Christmas tipple
❝
The idea behind the cocktail was to combine the exotic and warming aromatic flavours of the Sacred cardamom gin with the homely familiarity of orange marmalade. It’s a comfort cocktail, essentially. We also have a chocolate, coffee and cardamom truffle cake on our sweet menu at the moment and the cocktail ties in really nicely with this.
Ingredients
• 25ml Sacred cardamom gin • 25ml Cointreau • 2tsp marmalade (fine cut) • 20ml hot water • Splash of lemon juice • Ice • Orange twist, cardamom cloves and star anise to garnish
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Place marmalade and hot water in a cocktail shaker and stir. 2. Add the rest of the ingredients. 3. Shake over ice (around six cubes). 4. Strain into a chilled copper Martini glass. 5. Garnish with orange twist, cardamom, cloves and star anise – and serve.
