Mother Root, the alcohol-free aperitif redefining drinking for pleasure, created a limited-edition Marmelade Switchel that simplifies the creation of spritzes. This bold, complex and well-balanced aperitif plays with the flavors of blood orange, Seville orange, cardamom, green tea and apple cider vinegar to bring switchels up to speed for a new generation of drinkers. As founder Bethan Higson says, "I was looking for a balance between bitter orange, tart apple cider vinegar and a sweetness that wasn’t sickly. I wanted to taste the marmalade influence without the syrupy flavor."
Ready to combine with sparkling water or mix into a cocktail, this non-alcoholic, small-batch aperitif saves consumers from having to purchase tonics or special sodas to create quality beverages with elevated flavors.
