How it is made

Orange marmalade is made by boiling oranges (including the peel), sugar, and water together until it reaches a gel-like consistency. The inclusion of pectin helps in thickening the mixture, resulting in a spreadable preserve that retains the vibrant flavor of fresh oranges.

The origins of orange marmalade can be traced back to the 18th century in Scotland, where it was first made as a way to preserve citrus fruits. It gained popularity in England and became a staple breakfast item. Over time, its use expanded into culinary applications, including cocktails.

In cocktails

Bartenders often use orange marmalade as a sweetener or flavoring agent in cocktails. It can be muddled into drinks, used as a garnish, or incorporated into syrups. When serving cocktails with orange marmalade, it's best to shake well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
