A breakfast martini is a form of cocktail created by bartender Salvatore Calabrese. The most famous "marmalade cocktail", [1] it is a gin martini with marmalade, orange liqueur, and lemon juice in place of vermouth.[2]
The drink was invented in 2000 at the Library Bar at the Lanesborough Hotel in London, England.[3] A similar drink, the Marmalade Cocktail, was invented in the 1920s by Harry Craddock and published in his standard reference book, the Savoy Cocktail Book.[4]
The name has been applied to various other martini-style drinks as well.[5]
