The Paddington
This cocktail is inspired by the lovable bear from the children’s books. He always has an orange marmalade sandwich in his hat “in case of emergencies.”
We love simple cocktails here at Chixx and this one is one of the easiest! Adding marmalade adds both flavor and sweetness without much leg work.
Tips and Trixx:
Choose your favorite brand of marmalade or jam or jelly. The best ones for this recipe are a little viscous so that they blend easily when shaken.
The amount of marmalade you add may depend on which brand you use and it’s sugar and flavor concentration. Start with 1 tablespoon, shake and have a taste before straining. If the raspberry and sweetness isn’t coming through and get more lime flavor, add a bit more jam, shake and repeat till it meets your taste.
A bit of honey or simple syrup can be added to up the sweetness if that’s your jam ;-)
