In a Melbourne garden, the cumquat tree is the only reliable fruit bearer, inspiring the author to create marmalade. The cumquat marmalade is not only delicious but also versatile, allowing for the creation of a cocktail called Lady Marmalade. This drink blends whiskey or tequila with cumquat marmalade and can be adapted into a non-alcoholic mocktail with fruit juice. The recipe calls for specific ingredients and methods to make both the marmalade and cocktail, showcasing how to elevate simple ingredients into a delightful experience.
If life gives you cumquats, make marmalade! The Lady Marmalade is a late-night specialty that showcases the unique citrus’s flavors in cocktails and mocktails.
For the cocktail, mezcal and apricot brandy are used, but alternatives like tequila or lighter spirits can make excellent variations alongside different marmalades.
