Cocktail Description

The Marmalade Carnival transforms breakfast's bitter-sweet orange spread into a surprisingly sophisticated cocktail experience that will make you rethink everything you know about marmalade.

This delightful concoction balances the grassy, funky notes of Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça with the complex bittersweetness of English orange marmalade, while fresh lemon juice adds necessary brightness. The egg white creates a luxurious, silky texture that supports rather than dominates the drink, and orange bitters tie the citrus elements together beautifully. Despite its sophisticated flavor profile, this cocktail is relatively simple to make—if you can handle a basic shake and strain, you can master this drink. The Marmalade Carnival works wonderfully for weekend brunches or as an early evening aperitif during warmer months, though its playful nature makes it a conversation starter at any casual gathering. For food pairings, try it alongside savory brunch dishes like eggs benedict, or with appetizers featuring salty cheeses and cured meats that will complement the drink's citrus-forward character.
