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.

The sounds, smells, and tastes of the island are alive and well in this bustling borough, where Jamaican, Trinidadian, and Guyanese cuisines blend together in a delicious melting pot.

From the jerk chicken and curry goat of Liberty Avenue to the roti shops of Richmond Hill, Queens is a haven for Caribbean food lovers. And at the heart of it all is the humble hibiscus-based sorrel drink, a staple in many Caribbean households and a specialty of Sorrel City. Our hand-bottled sorrel, made with love and care, is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, who appreciate its unique flavor and cultural significance.
