Step 1

Combine the marmalade and bitters in a cocktail shaker or jam jar with a lid. Use a spoon or muddler to break up the marmalade. Add the whiskey and a few cubes of ice. Seal the jar and shake until the jam has melted and the mix is frothy. Remove the lid, strain into a glass with or without ice. Add a splash of cold water or seltzer if desired.

Step 2

The history of the jam cocktail is not new. The marmalade cocktail dates back to the 1930’s in the Savoy Cocktail Book. Learn more about marmalade cocktails in this post by Serious Eats.
