The Breakfast Martini was created by Salvatore Calabrese in 1996. Since then, it has become wildly popular. And no, there is nothing wrong in serving this for breakfast.
About the Breakfast Martini
This cocktail was created in 1996 by the famous bartender and long-term President of the United Kingdom Bartender Guild, Salvatore Calabrese. Mr. Calabrese started his career in London at no lesser place than at Dukes Hotel – a place I have previously referred to as Mekka for cocktail lovers.
As a twist of Calabrese’s original recipe, I like to garnish with a piece of toast instead of orange peel. Bonus: You can use the toast to scoop up the delicious orange marmalade from the martini glass.
