Negroni Summer Citrus Marmalade
A two-star Great Taste Award-winning marmalade combining oranges, pink grapefruit, lemons and limes with Campari, Rosso vermouth and British gin.
Quick answer: Negroni Summer Citrus Marmalade is a two-star Great Taste Award-winning, four-citrus preserve inspired by the classic Italian cocktail. Sweet orange, pink grapefruit, lemon and lime create a bright fruit base, while Campari, Rosso vermouth and British gin add herbal bitterness, warmth and botanical depth.
Our Negroni Summer Citrus Marmalade brings the sunny freshness of four citrus fruits together with the bold, bittersweet character of a classic Negroni.
Orange adds sweetness and roundness, while pink grapefruit brings freshness and a gently bitter edge. Lemon provides clean acidity, and lime adds a lively aromatic lift.
Campari, Rosso vermouth and British gin complete the marmalade, creating a layered preserve with fruit at the front and a long, grown-up aperitif finish.

The Four-Citrus Blend
Each fruit contributes something different to the final marmalade.
Orange brings sweetness, roundness and familiar citrus warmth. Pink grapefruit adds freshness, floral character and gentle bitterness.
Lemon provides clean acidity and zest, while lime gives the preserve a sharper aromatic lift.
Together, the four fruits create a lighter, brighter base than a classic orange Negroni marmalade, making this version particularly fresh and summery.
The Classic Negroni Flavours
A traditional Negroni combines bitter aperitif, sweet vermouth and gin. Each ingredient has a clear role in this preserve.
Campari adds bitter orange and herbal depth. Rosso vermouth brings sweetness, spice and warmth.
British gin gives the marmalade a clean botanical finish with subtle juniper character.
Why Summer Citrus and Negroni Work Together
The Negroni is naturally built around citrus, bitterness and aromatic botanicals, so it works beautifully with orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime.
The fruit keeps the marmalade lively and fresh, while the cocktail ingredients add complexity and length.
The result is bright enough for breakfast but distinctive enough for cheese, baking, savoury glazes and cocktails.
How We Make It
We prepare the oranges, pink grapefruit, lemons and limes carefully, balancing the juice, fruit and peel so each citrus note remains clear.
Campari, Rosso vermouth and British gin are added in carefully judged quantities. The cocktail character should be recognisable without masking the fruit.
Each batch is handmade in our Gloucestershire kitchen, creating a glossy marmalade with tender peel and a long, aromatic finish.
How to Enjoy It
- Spread on warm toast, crumpets, croissants or sourdough
- Serve with ricotta, mascarpone or thick Greek yoghurt
- Pair with mature Cheddar, goat’s cheese or charcuterie
- Use as a glaze for chicken, duck, ham or cocktail sausages

Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
This version of Negroni Marmalade is all about brightness. The orange, grapefruit, lemon and lime should arrive first, followed by Campari bitterness, vermouth warmth and a clean lift of gin botanicals. It is lighter than the blood orange version, but still full of character.
Made for Cheese and Savoury Cooking
The combination of citrus, bitterness and botanicals makes this marmalade particularly good with strong cheese, charcuterie and roasted meats.
- Serve with mature Cheddar and crisp crackers
- Pair with goat’s cheese or baked Camembert
- Brush over roast chicken, duck or ham
- Mix with mustard for a citrus glaze
- Serve alongside charcuterie or pâté
Made for Baking and Desserts
- Warm gently and brush over an orange loaf cake
- Layer into an almond or chocolate sponge
- Use as a filling for citrus sandwich biscuits
- Spoon over yoghurt with toasted pistachios
- Serve with vanilla ice cream, panna cotta or cheesecake

All the Artisan marmalades are wonderful. This particular one is very dark and deliciously bitter.
