For many members of the Caribbean community, the holidays call for the hibiscus-based drink, sorrel. Every family stirs up their drink their way, some spice it with cinnamon and cardamom, others cloves and ginger. The brewed beverage is often punched up with rum. Proudly crafted by Jackie Summers, the first licensed Black distiller in the U.S., comes Sorel Liqueur. Brewed in Brooklyn, the aromatic drink makes the season feel bright with a mix of Moroccan hibiscus, Nigerian ginger and Brazilian cloves. Easily mixed with spirits and bubbles, the best way I've found to enjoy Sorel is simply over ice and good conversation.
Give your loved one the gift of adventure in New York City with a new book written by yours truly. The paperback, Secret New York City: A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure, digs into nearly 100 hidden gems across the five boroughs. To name a few: an underground art installation in the middle of Times Square; an eerie witch in Central Park; a surprisingly serene spot for contemplation.
