Marjoram leaves, a type of herb, are known for their sweet and slightly citrusy flavor, which makes them a versatile ingredient in the culinary world. When used in cocktails, marjoram leaves can add a unique aromatic quality and depth of flavor that enhances the overall drinking experience.

Typically, fresh marjoram leaves are muddled or used as a garnish in cocktails to release their essential oils and impart their distinctive taste. They pair particularly well with gin, vodka, and tequila-based drinks, complementing the botanicals and other herbal notes. Their subtle sweetness can balance out the acidity of citrus fruits and the bitterness of certain liqueurs, making them a delightful addition to a wide range of cocktails.
