Sorrel on the Table

Glass of sorrel drink on a table with hibiscus petals and ginger

On a crisp November afternoon in Brooklyn, the aroma of roasting meats and freshly brewed sorrel wafts through the air, signaling the start of the Thanksgiving holiday. In many Caribbean-American households, sorrel is a staple at the Thanksgiving table, its deep red color and warm, spiced flavor a perfect complement to the traditional turkey and sides.

According to some food historians, sorrel has been a part of holiday celebrations in the Caribbean for centuries, where it is often served as a refreshing drink to balance the richness of the meal. At Sorrel City, we are proud to continue this tradition, hand-bottling our sorrel in small batches using a secret blend of spices and a 3:1 ratio of hibiscus to ginger.

A Flavor of Home

For many Caribbean-Americans, sorrel is a taste of home and a connection to their cultural heritage. Some people find that the drink's vitamin C and antioxidants make it a great way to stay hydrated during the holiday season, while others simply enjoy its unique flavor and aroma. Whether you are looking to add a new tradition to your Thanksgiving celebration or simply want to try something new, Sorrel City's sorrel is the perfect choice.

A Warm and Inviting Tradition

As the weather cools and the holidays approach, sorrel becomes an even more inviting drink, its warm, spiced flavor a perfect fit for the season. Researchers have studied the cultural significance of sorrel in the Caribbean, where it is often served at holidays and special occasions, and have found that it plays an important role in bringing people together and creating a sense of community. At Sorrel City, we are proud to be a part of this tradition, and we invite you to join us in celebrating the joy and warmth of the holiday season with a glass of our delicious sorrel.
