Sorrel City's Mother's Day Brunch

In the bustling streets of Brooklyn, as the second Sunday in May approaches, families begin to plan their Mother's Day celebrations. A traditional brunch is often at the center of these gatherings, and Sorrel City's hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel is the perfect addition to elevate this special meal.

Paring Sorrel with Brunch Classics

Some people find that the subtle, slightly sweet flavor of sorrel complements the richness of traditional brunch dishes, such as eggs benedict or quiche. Researchers have studied the antioxidant properties of hibiscus, the main ingredient in sorrel, and its potential to add a nutritious twist to a warm seasonal ritual. In Manhattan's Caribbean restaurants, sorrel is often served as a refreshing beverage to balance the spiciness of jerk chicken or the sweetness of coconut rice.

To create a memorable Mother's Day brunch, consider pairing Sorrel City's sorrel with smoked salmon bagels or avocado toast. The slightly tart flavor of the sorrel will cut through the richness of the cream cheese or the brightness of the avocado. For a more traditional Jamaican twist, try pairing the sorrel with ackee and saltfish or callaloo.
