Marmalade is a very fun ingredient to use when making cocktails. There are a variety of flavors and it adds a sweet (or bitter) profile with a great texture. A bottle caught my eye when experimenting for the Mixology Summit so I went looking for a drink to use it in.
A Cadillac Margarita is of course a popular drink that uses Grand Marnier, so I essentially just added orange marmalade to the mix with fantastic results, My Guiney Pigs for these experiments praised this as one of the best tequila cocktails they have had in a long time.
Temos Tanta Marmelada
1 heaping bar spoon Orange Marmalade
1 1/2 oz Cazadores Reposado (I love this Tequila)
3/4 oz Grand Marnier
1/3 oz Lime Juice
2 bar spoons Egg Whites
Add all into mixing glass with cracked ice, shake hard and long to emulsify. Strain into a cocktail glass half salted and a lime wedge.
