Friday Night Fun! Renaissance Cocktail

Your Citrus Chian Tangerine Marmalade isn't just for breakfast!  Here is the recipe for the Renaissance, that Chios-inspired cocktail from OverProof mixologists, Christos Mazarakis and Giannis Koutsouradis, whom we profiled earlier this week in our series on Global Greek Gastronomy.  Skinos mastiha liqueur is sold in the States but if you have a hard time finding it, substitute a gin, like Beefeater, that won't overpower the fragrances.

7 ml Fernet Branca

1 barspoon Citrus Chian Tangerine Marmalade
