· 1 min read
On a warm summer afternoon in Mt. Vernon, the scent of freshly baked patties wafts through the air, mingling with the sound of reggae music and the hum of Caribbean shops along East Lincoln Avenue. It's here, in the heart of Westchester County, that Sorrel City's hand-bottled sorrel has become a staple, offering a refreshing respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Sorrel City's sorrel, made with a special blend of hibiscus, is a drink that's deeply rooted in Jamaican tradition. With a 3:1 ratio of hibiscus to sugar, it's a flavor that's both tart and sweet, perfect for sipping on a hot day or pairing with a plate of jerk chicken or curry goat. And for those who like a little extra kick, Sorrel City offers the option to add a splash of rum or wine to their sorrel.
