The Artisan Kitchen’s Espresso Martini Marmalade is a bold, contemporary preserve handmade in small batches in Gloucester, England, inspired by the classic cocktail.
Bright citrus fruit provides the marmalade’s fresh, bittersweet base, while espresso brings roasted depth, gentle bitterness and a rich coffee aroma. The cocktail-inspired flavours add warmth and complexity, creating a preserve that is dark, distinctive and beautifully balanced rather than overly sweet.
The result is a grown-up marmalade with layers of citrus and coffee, a smooth bittersweet character and a long, aromatic finish.
Created by chef and preserve maker Sarah Churchill, founder of The Artisan Kitchen, it reflects a chef-led approach to traditional preserving, combining classic marmalade-making techniques with imaginative modern flavour pairings.
Delicious on hot buttered toast, croissants and brioche, it also works beautifully with chocolate desserts, tiramisu, vanilla ice cream and rich cakes, and makes an unusual addition to cheeseboards and dessert cocktails.
