HER MAJESTY'S MARMALADE
Victoria
Cocktail created for her majesty Queen Victoria. Only Canadians could think of such a royal reason to drink on a Monday . The marmalade toasts sitting next to this cocktail remind us of the traditional breakfasts of Great Britain where the ubiquitous item on the table is always a sturdy jar of thick-cut marmalade. If one is not opposed to drinking at breakfast, then why not enjoy a drink that combines both. Think of it as a Scottish mimosa - The Marmalade Cocktail. So cheers to Victoria! She didn't drink, but doubtless she would have been amused.
