Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker

Ingredients

  • Ice
  • 2 tbsp fine-cut marmalade
  • 100 ml gin
  • 2 tbsp triple sec or Cointreau
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 slice of bread, toasted

Method

  • Put a few lumps of ice in a martini glass and fill it with water to chill.
  • Put the marmalade in a cocktail shaker with the gin and triple sec and stir and stir until the marmalade has dissolved.
  • Fill the shaker with ice, add the lemon juice and stir and stir and stir making sure the spoon goes right to the bottom of the shaker. Don’t shake it like that philistine Bond, it will only water it down.
  • Stir 50 times – count them. The shaker will have become so frosty and cold you will hardly be able to touch it.
  • Sling the iced water from the glass and pour the sparkly liquid through a sieve into it. On the side of your martini, have a slither of cold, heavily buttered toast with marmalade on it. Why should the toast be cold? Because as my mum says, ‘Butter should be ON toast, not IN toast’.
