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.

On a warm December evening in the Bronx, the scent of sorrel wafts through the air, transporting residents to the sun-kissed hills of Jamaica. Sorrel City's hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel is a staple in many holiday celebrations, including Christmas and New Year's, where it is often served with a touch of rum, wine, or sugar.

Sorrel's Rich History

According to tradition, sorrel is often associated with good fortune and prosperity, making it a popular choice for special occasions. Researchers have studied the potential benefits of hydration and nutrition in traditional Caribbean drinks, and some people find the vitamin C and antioxidants in hibiscus to be a refreshing and healthy addition to their festivities.

In the Caribbean, sorrel is a beloved drink that is steeped in tradition and cultural significance. It is a symbol of community and hospitality, often served at gatherings and celebrations. With Sorrel City, you can experience the authentic taste of Jamaica and be a part of the tradition and community that surrounds this beloved drink.
