Origin Story

The Breakfast Martini was created by Salvatore Calabrese at the Library Bar in the Lanesborough Hotel, London, in the late 1990s. Inspired by his morning toast with marmalade, Calabrese combined the preserve with gin, Cointreau, and lemon juice to create a cocktail that captures the bright, bittersweet flavors of a British breakfast in a glass.
