Substitutes for Marmalade
| Substitute | Ratio | Note | Zero-proof |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jam | 1:1 | Apricot jam is closest in body and sweetness. It has no bitter peel, so shake a strip of orange zest with the drink. | |
| Orange oleo saccharum | 1:1 | Orange peel oil drawn out with sugar gives the bittersweet orange flavour, though not the body. Muddle orange peels with sugar and leave them a few hours, then strain. |
Types of Marmalade
- Seville orange marmalade – Made from bitter Seville oranges. The traditional British style and the most bitter.
- Sweet orange marmalade – Made from sweet oranges. Milder and sweeter, with little bitterness.
- Thick-cut marmalade – Chunky strips of peel with more chew and bite. Fine-strain the pieces out of a shaken drink.
- Fine-cut marmalade – Thin shreds of peel that break up easily, so it mixes into drinks most smoothly.
