🥃 Serve in: Martini Glass
A barspoon of orange marmalade gets stirred right into gin here, alongside triple sec and lemon juice for a citrusy, slightly bitter sweetness. Invented by bartender Salvatore Calabrese, that marmalade gives it a distinct marmalade-on-toast character that plays cleverly on its name despite containing no actual coffee or eggs. Bright, tangy, and inventive, it's become one of the most successful modern gin cocktails since its 1990s debut. Shaken hard to properly dissolve the marmalade, then served up.
Stir the marmalade with the gin in the base of a shaker until dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and shake with ice, then fine strain into a chilled glass. Express an orange zest twist over the drink and discard, and garnish with a slice of toast on the rim.
