Sorel Liqueur ($38.49)
I had the pleasure of experiencing this delicious liqueur hand-served by the founder, Jackie Summers, who is the first African American in the US to hold a distiller’s license. Summers explained that “Sorrel” is a term for hibiscus flowers, which are known to have a variety of health benefits, including improving circulation and respiratory health. For generations, Sorrel has been blended with a variety of spices, sweeteners, and sometimes booze, via family recipes that have been passed down through generations. Jackie grew up with Sorrel as a kid and his adult version is a delicious blend of African hibiscus, Brazilian clove, nutmeg and Nigerian Ginger.
This shelf-stable liqueur can be sipped warm, on ice, or blended with other spirits. It’s warmth makes it a perfect holiday drink to sip before or after dinner.
