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.
