Sorrel City is a small-batch Jamaican sorrel beverage business based in the NY/CT area. We brew bottled sorrel from a family recipe — hibiscus petals, ginger, cloves, orange peel steeped slow — with optional rum or wine added on request.

Where do you deliver?

Local courier delivery (via Uber Direct) within about 10 miles of our Bronx kitchen, quoted live at checkout. Self-pickup from the Bronx is free, and we run occasional flat-fee delivery days to areas farther out.

How much lead time do I need?

Two days minimum. Each batch is steeped slowly so we need time to brew and bottle your order.

Zelle (preferred — verify within an hour), cash at handoff, or tap-to-pay with Apple Pay or Google Pay on our terminal at pickup or delivery.

Glass of sorrel drink on a festival tablecloth

On a sunny day in late summer, the streets of Brooklyn come alive with the sounds and flavors of the Caribbean, as the annual Caribbean Festival takes over the borough. As a first-timer, navigating the vibrant crowds and endless options can be overwhelming, but with a little guidance, you can make the most of your visit. Sorrel City, the premier provider of hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel, is a staple at the festival, and for good reason - our sweet sorrel is a perfect fit for the warm seasonal ritual of the festival, according to some people who find it a refreshing drink.

Getting Started

Before you head out, be sure to start an order for a gallon of Sorrel City's finest sorrel, available with optional rum, wine, or sugar, to enjoy during the festival. This will give you a taste of the authentic Caribbean flavors that await you. As you make your way through the crowds, keep an eye out for the Sorrel City booth, where you can sample our latest flavors and learn more about the rich heritage behind our hand-bottled sorrel.

Must-Try Foods and Drinks

Of course, no trip to the Caribbean Festival would be complete without trying some of the delicious foods and drinks on offer. From jerk chicken to curry goat, and from fresh coconut water to Sorrel City's signature sorrel, there is something for every taste and preference. Researchers have studied the nutritional benefits of hibiscus, a key ingredient in sorrel, and some people find it to be a healthy and refreshing choice. Be sure to wash it all down with a glass of Sorrel City's sweet sorrel, available at our booth or at various vendors throughout the festival.

As the day winds down, be sure to visit our home at Sorrel City to learn more about our products and mission. With a little planning and insider knowledge, you will be well on your way to experiencing the best of Brooklyn's Caribbean Festival, with Sorrel City as your guide.
