The holiday season just isn’t complete in Ayesha’s home without sorrel.

This traditional recipe is a staple for Jamaican family gatherings. The tartness of the sorrel, also known as hibiscus, is well-balanced with the spice from the ginger, cloves and cinnamon—making this the perfect drink to get you in the spirit of the holiday season! You can enjoy sorrel without the rum, but we like to add it in ours for extra warmth.
