Switchel is typically prepared by mixing water with vinegar and seasoning it with ginger and Sunomi makes a trio of sparkling ginger beverages with wellness-focused flavors. The brand's Turmeric, Orange and Lemon drinks are all made with a base of apple cider vinegar, ginger and a touch of honey for sweetness.

According to Sunomi, people have been drinking switchel for centuries as a source of electrolytes and gut-friendly prebiotics, as well as enjoying it as a cocktail mixer and mocktail.

The sweet and tart drinks by Sunomi update the ancient recipe for the modern drinker who is looking to refuel after a workout, when they're feeling dehydrated, thirsty or in need of energy. While switchel can be enjoyed with alcohol, the base product itself is free from alcohol and caffeine.
