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?

We deliver across the Bronx ($15), Mount Vernon, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Connecticut ($30). Self-pickup from the Bronx is free.

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.

In the heart of the Bronx, where Caribbean culture and cuisine thrive, Sorrel City's story begins with a simple yet profound tagline: Sweet sorrel straight from JamDung. This phrase is more than just a marketing slogan - it is a testament to our dedication to preserving the traditional flavors and methods of Jamaican sorrel production.

The Significance of JamDung

JamDung, a colloquialism for Jamaica, represents the rich cultural heritage and history that Sorrel City embodies. Our sorrel is crafted with the same love and care that Jamaican families have devoted to this beloved drink for generations. By using high-quality hibiscus flowers and adhering to traditional recipes, we ensure that every bottle of Sorrel City sorrel is a genuine reflection of the island's vibrant spirit.

According to some people, the tradition of drinking sorrel during the winter holidays, particularly around Christmas, is a cherished custom that brings families and friends together. Researchers have studied the role of sorrel in Caribbean culture, highlighting its significance as a symbol of hospitality and community. At Sorrel City, we are committed to sharing this warmth and hospitality with our customers, one bottle at a time.
