Celebrating the world’s premiere preserving festival we have created the ultimate orange cocktail – the marmalade martini, in honour of the Dalemain Marmalade Awards. Here’s our recipe.
Dalemain marmalade martini cocktail recipe
Our take on the classic marmalade martini pays homage to the annual Dalemain Marmalade Festival. The combination of thin cut marmalade, vodka and Cointreau make for a bitter-sweet cocktail.
Ingredients
35ml vodka
15ml Cointreau
1 tbsp marmalade
10ml blood orange juice
Method
Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice, shake, strain and serve in a martini glass.
Garnish with a spiral of orange peel and a candied slice.
Dalemain Marmalade Festival
Founded in 2005, the Dalemain Marmalade Awards are serious business in The Lakes. With hundreds of entries from all over the world and high profile judges including Xanthe Clay, food writer for the Telegraph, Will Torrent and Bridgette Hardy, it is recognised as the world’s premiere preserving awards.
Judging takes place in January and the awards will be announced at the festival on 20 April Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens will be open from 10am – 4pm on 20 & 21 April.
These artisan awards promote small scale producers using the open-pan method. They put marmalade makers on the map and winners can display their ‘Gold’ ‘Silver’ or ‘Bronze’ Award rounds on their jars, declaring their marmalade as one of the best quality preserves in the world.
