Crafting Sorrel City's Signature Drink
· 2 min read
On a crisp winter morning in the Bronx, the aroma of simmering hibiscus and spices wafts through the kitchen, signaling the start of another small-batch sorrel production day at Sorrel City. Our team carefully measures out the ingredients, adhering to a traditional Jamaican recipe that has been perfected over time, with a precise ratio of 3 parts hibiscus to 1 part ginger.
The Art of Slow Crafting
We believe that the slow and deliberate process of crafting our sorrel is essential to its unique flavor profile, which is both tart and slightly sweet, with a hint of warm spice. By taking the time to carefully select and prepare each ingredient, we are able to create a drink that is truly exceptional, with a depth of flavor reminiscent of Caribbean holidays, such as Christmas Day, December 25th, when sorrel is traditionally served.
At Sorrel City, we are committed to preserving the traditional methods and ingredients that have been passed down through generations of Jamaican sorrel makers. Our hand-bottled sorrel is made with love and care, using only the finest ingredients, including fresh hibiscus calyxes and a touch of sugar, with optional rum or wine for those who prefer a bit of added depth.
