History
The drink was created at the Lanesborough Hotel in 1996 by Salvatore Calabrese. The structure of the drink is a White Lady. A Marmalade Martini appears in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book. Similar in construction, Craddock didn’t use triple sec in his version. Calabrese maintains the inspiration for his drink came solely from his marmalade breakfast.
The story of the breakfast martini’s creation, unsurprisingly, started at breakfast. Being what he calls typically Italian, Salvatore’s breakfast would usually consist of a shot of espresso before leaving for work. One morning his wife forced him to eat something, claiming he looked more tired than usual, she made him marmalade on toast. He went to work that day with the idea of using the ingredients in a drink.
