This Jam Cocktail (or Jamtini) is easy to make at home and totally customizable. All you need is your favorite juice, jam, vodka, gin, rum or bourbon and club soda. My favorite version (so far) is made with lemonade & strawberry jam, but there are so many flavor combinations to discover.
This week was fridge clean out week in our house – Which means, being creative, and making due with what’s lurking around in our full-to-the-brim fridge. And, in all honesty, I had a pretty successful week:
- Bacon & Shallot Fried Rice was born from 6 strips of bacon, a half used bag of frozen peas, rice, shallots + eggs.
- Jerk Pork Tenderloin Salad was created with half a pork tenderloin and a bagged sweet potato & kale salad.
- The bottom of a jar of strawberry jam, lemonade, and some vodka from the freezer = This amazing Jam Cocktail!
Then I found a jar of fig jam and a jar of mango jam, and I got to thinking… There’s endless possibilities here. I could create about 15 different cocktails tonight…. But that would be dangerous. And it’s Tuesday.
So… I just created those cocktails in my head. Here’s a few cocktail recipe ideas that I came up with:
