How to incorporate Jams, Jellies & Marmalades into a fun cocktail.Margarita
I personally think ANY of the jellies blend great with a good Marg, but my favorites have to be: Tropical Pepper Jelly (sweet, yet spicy), Strawberry Guava, Strawberry Hibiscus or the Mango Passionfuit. Each of these have the most 'beachy-vibe' to them.
Recipe: Jelly + Tequila + Triple Sec + lime + salted rim, served over ice or blended frozen
Julep
Want to feel like you're part of the Kentucky Derby with a fresh mint julep? Try mixing it with Blood Orange Marmalade, Black + Blue Vanilla Lavender, or Pear Vanilla Bean Jam.
Recipe: Marmalade+ Bourbon + fresh Mint + Club Soda + crushed ice
Sangria
More of a wine than liquor drinker? Try a new twist on your summer sangiria, great for serving crowds!
Best accompanying Jams: Strawberry Rose, Mixed berry, Georgia Peach Lavender
Recipes:
Strawberry Rose Jam + Rose' + Grand Marnier + fresh fruit
Mixed Berry Jam + red wine + ginger ale + brandy + fruit
Peach Lavender Jam + white wine + peach schnapps + fruit; let sit and marinate flavors >1hr.
Moscow Mule
Cocktail with a kick! Spicy ginger beer always makes the palette feel refreshed. Jams best complementing: Persimmon, Cinnamon Apple Butter, Three Citrus Marmalade
Recipe: Jam + Vodka + lime juice + ginger beer + mint
Bellini
Who doesn't love a bellini? Sweet, light, and even acceptable for breakfast! I think with champagne, the Blackberry Pear, White Peach Lavender, and Mango Passionfruit pair best.
Recipe: Jam + cold Champagne
Mojito
One of my personal faves, Mint Mojito! Sweet, citrusy, herby, now fruity! Best flavors: Strawberry Watermelon + Pear Ginger + Blueberry Lavender
Muddle mint with lime juice and jam, then top with rum and soda water. (optional: add splash of lemonade if you like your drinks on the sweeter-side)

Dark & Stormy
Similar to Moscow Mule, but Dark rum instead of vodka.
Harmonious Jams: Fig Jam, Spiced Pear Butter, or Cherry Vanilla.
Recipe: Jam + Dark Rum + Ginger Beer + sliced lime
