:By JOSEPH SLATER | |||
This week's drink is an all-in-one brunch drink, for when you want a juice but also a soda and feel like marmalade toast but also want to eat a proper breakfast. You will probably need a coffee too. | |||
In Europe, bitter orange sodas are common and are one of the main soda flavours. Here in New Zealand we mostly have their fake, over-sweet and trashy American cousins. The drier, more bitter versions are a more grown-up soda, more of an aperitif than an accompaniment to fish and chips. | |||
In 2000, bartender Salvatore Calabrese created a drink called a breakfast martini (which was neither breakfast nor, truly, a martini) mixing gin, lemon juice, Cointreau and marmalade. Putting marmalade in a drink was pretty revolutionary at the time and his fame in bartending circles multiplied. These days it seems you need to invent a new type of fruit to be considered experimental. | |||
My bitter orange rickey is a non-alcoholic cousin of the breakfast martini, using Six Barrel Soda Co. Orange and Dandelion syrup in place of the Cointreau. The soda syrup uses roasted dandelion root, Nelson Sauvin hops, and kawakawa as bittering. The drink is sweet but has complexity from mixing the orange and dandelion with the fresh juice and the bittersweet and zesty marmalade. | |||
If you can't find the syrup, you could use another orange or grapefruit soda in place of the syrup and soda water. This is a great drink if you have friends over for brunch and want a step up from a simple OJ. It's also pretty great with a nip of gin or tequila. | |||
