Marmalade Cocktails Recipes

Steps:

• For each drink, combine 3 ounces gin, 1 ounce dry vermouth, 1/2 ounce lemon juice and 1 tablespoon orange marmalade in a cocktail shaker with ice; shake well, then pour into a glass.

Steps:

• For the Scotch: Cut the pepper in half and add it to a jar with the Scotch, infusing for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pepper (don't touch your eyes when handling the peppers, lest you end up like us, typing with one eye swollen, on fire with pepper oil). Trust us, this gets hot.
• For the cocktail: In a shaker with ice, add 4 ounces infused Scotch, lemon juice, marmalade and bitters, and shake vigorously. Strain into an up glass. Garnish with the tiniest slice of pepper. Sip slowly and keep a fire extinguisher on hand.

Steps:

• Pour the vodka into a sterilised 1-litre sealable flip-top jar. Stir in the marmalade and the vanilla pod and seeds until the marmalade has mostly dissolved, and just the peel is left. Seal and leave in a cool, dark place for 48 hrs, or longer if you prefer a more bitter flavour.
• Strain through a fine mesh sieve, then bottle. Will keep for several months in a cool, dark place. Use in a cosmopolitan or breakfast martini with vermouth, or top up with sparkling water and a dash of bitters.

Steps:

• Combine bourbon, lime juice, sugar, marmalade, and bitters in a pitcher. Stir vigorously until sugar and marmalade are dissolved.
• Fill rocks glasses with crushed ice, top with bourbon mixture, and serve each with a maraschino cherry and a drizzle of cherry liquid.
