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.

Sorrel City's Small-Batch Tradition

On a crisp December morning in the Bronx, the aroma of simmering sorrel fills the air, signaling the start of the holiday season. At Sorrel City, we are committed to making our small-batch Jamaican sorrel the slow way, just as our ancestors did. We use a traditional ratio of 1 part sorrel to 3 parts water, combined with a touch of sugar and a hint of spice, to create a drink that is both refreshing and flavorful.

The Importance of Tradition

Some people find that the slow, manual process of making sorrel allows for a deeper connection to the ingredients and the cultural heritage behind the drink. Researchers have studied the significance of sorrel in Caribbean cuisine, and its role in bringing people together during the holiday season. At Sorrel City, we are proud to be a part of this tradition, and we are dedicated to preserving the authentic flavor and spirit of Jamaican sorrel.

According to Caribbean culinary lore, sorrel is often associated with warmth, hospitality, and community. We see this firsthand at Sorrel City, where our customers gather to share stories and enjoy our sorrel at holiday gatherings and warm seasonal rituals.

A Focus on Quality

At Sorrel City, we are committed to using only the finest ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible, to create a drink that is not only delicious but also authentic. Our sorrel is made in small batches, with a focus on quality and tradition, rather than mass production and efficiency. This approach allows us to ensure that every bottle of Sorrel City sorrel meets our high standards, and that every customer can taste the difference.
