Caribbean market scene in the Bronx with food vendors and sorrel bottles

On a crisp winter morning in the Bronx, the aroma of jerk seasoning and roasted yams wafts through the streets of Fordham, enticing passersby to explore the neighborhood's rich Caribbean heritage. It's a sensory experience that Sorrel City is proud to be a part of, with our hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel, made with hibiscus, ginger, and a hint of spice, available to order online and delivered to your doorstep in the Bronx, Mt. Vernon, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Connecticut.

Jamaican Community Hub

The Bronx is home to a thriving Jamaican community, with many residents gathering at local eateries and markets to share meals and stories. At Sorrel City, we're honored to be a part of this tradition, with our sorrel drink being a staple at many family gatherings and celebrations, particularly during the holiday season, such as Christmas and New Year's Eve, when our large bottles are a popular choice for $75.

Flavors of Jamaica

Our sorrel is made with a special blend of 3 parts hibiscus to 1 part ginger, giving it a unique flavor profile that's both tart and slightly sweet. We also offer optional rum and wine infusions, adding a depth of flavor that's perfect for special occasions.

As researchers have noted, food plays a significant role in shaping cultural identity, and in the Bronx, Caribbean cuisine is a vibrant reflection of the community's diversity and creativity.
