Breakfast Martini Cocktail
The term ‘breakfast’ in cocktails typically refers to the use of ingredients commonly associated with morning meals, such as marmalade, citrus or light fruit infusions. Daytime and brunch-focused events, such as Sunday brunch or weekend breakfast gatherings are becoming increasingly popular, attributing the attention being given to martini cocktail variations because they are simple, easy to prepare and can be adapted to suit lighter flavours - allowing bartenders to incorporate unconventional notes and seasonal twists while maintaining variety.
