Sorrel Rum Punch for Summer

2026-05-29 · 2 min read

Glass of sorrel rum punch with mint and lime on a wooden table

On a sweltering July afternoon in the Bronx, the sounds of reggae music and sizzling barbecue fill the air, and the drink of choice is Sorrel City's sorrel rum punch. Made with our hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel, this refreshing cocktail is a staple of Caribbean gatherings. To make it, simply mix our sorrel with rum, a touch of sugar, and a squeeze of lime juice, then serve over ice with a sprig of fresh mint.

A Flavorful Twist

Sorrel City's sorrel is made with a special blend of hibiscus, ginger, and spices, giving it a unique flavor profile that pairs perfectly with the richness of rum. The key to a great sorrel rum punch is to balance the sweetness of the sorrel with the spiciness of the ginger, and we have perfected this ratio in our recipe. For a large batch, we recommend using one part sorrel to two parts rum, with a splash of sugar to taste.

A Caribbean Tradition

The drink was originally made with sorrel, rum, and sugar, and was served at social gatherings and celebrations. Today, Sorrel City is proud to continue this tradition, using only the finest ingredients and time-honored techniques to craft our sorrel. With its rich flavor and refreshing taste, our sorrel rum punch is sure to become a summer staple in your household, just as it has in the Bronx and throughout the Caribbean.
