A marmalade drink is a beverage made by stirring marmalade preserve into water. Its flavour and texture depend on the fruit and peel in the preserve, so it is different from a standard packaged fruit juice.
To make a marmalade drink, stir a spoonful of marmalade into a glass of water until it dissolves. Start with a small amount, then adjust the strength with more preserve or water to suit your taste.
Yes, you can make a marmalade drink with sparkling water. First loosen the marmalade with a little still water, then gently add the sparkling water so it mixes without losing too much fizz.
No, a marmalade drink is not the same as orange juice. It is made by diluting a cooked fruit preserve, often containing peel, while orange juice is extracted from oranges and has a different flavour and texture.
No, a marmalade drink usually does not need extra sugar because marmalade is already sweetened. Taste it after dilution; if it is too sweet, add water rather than more sweetener.
Yes, a marmalade drink can be served warm. Mix the preserve with warm water and stir until smooth; avoid boiling it, which can dull the fresh citrus aroma of marmalades that contain orange or lemon peel.
Lemon juice, fresh ginger, or a cinnamon stick can add a different flavour to a marmalade drink. Add just a little at first, since the preserve already has a strong fruit taste and may be quite sweet.
A homemade marmalade drink is best made fresh and kept covered in the refrigerator if you are saving it. Because it has been diluted with water, it is more perishable than the marmalade itself; discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Yes, the water in a marmalade drink contributes to fluid intake, but a sweet version is not the best everyday replacement for plain water. Dilute it well and choose water most often when you are thirsty.
Yes, you can use leftover marmalade in the jar to make a drink. Add a little warm water, swirl it to loosen the preserve, then pour it into a glass and dilute further; do not use a jar with signs of spoilage.

Marmalade drink is made by thinning fruit marmalade with water until it pours easily. The fruit used and the preserve’s consistency shape its colour and flavour, so recipes vary rather than following one fixed formula. It is a simple way to turn a spoonful of preserve into a drink, especially when you want to use up an open jar.
Expect a distinctly fruity, sweet taste; serve it chilled, over ice, or dilute it further for a lighter flavour. It is not usually a substantial or protein-rich drink, and its calories mainly come from carbohydrates: it provides 13.1 g per 100 g. Pair a small glass with a savoury snack, or add extra water if you prefer less sweetness.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
