Glass of sorrel drink on a table with Thanksgiving dishes

On Thanksgiving Day in Brooklyn, the smell of roasting turkey and baking pumpkin pie wafts through the air, but in many Caribbean-American households, another aroma is just as familiar: the sweet, spicy scent of sorrel. Sorrel City's hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel is a staple at these gatherings, where family and friends come together to share stories and make new memories.

A Taste of Tradition

According to some people, sorrel is a warm, comforting drink that evokes feelings of nostalgia and togetherness, much like the traditional Thanksgiving feast. Researchers have studied the cultural significance of sorrel in Caribbean communities, where it is often associated with holiday celebrations and special occasions. Sorrel City's sorrel is made with a traditional recipe that combines hibiscus, ginger, and spices, creating a unique flavor profile that is both familiar and exciting.

In the Bronx, Mount Vernon, and other neighborhoods where Caribbean culture thrives, Sorrel City's sorrel is a popular choice for Thanksgiving gatherings. It is traditionally believed to be a refreshing, thirst-quenching beverage that pairs perfectly with the rich flavors of the holiday meal. Some people find that the vitamin C and antioxidants in sorrel make it a great choice for a seasonal ritual, like Thanksgiving, when people come together to enjoy good food and company.
