To make an unsweetened sorrel mocktail, muddle washed fresh sorrel leaves with lemon juice, then add cold water or sparkling water and ice. Strain it for a smoother drink, or leave the leaves in briefly for a stronger, tangier flavour.
An unsweetened sorrel mocktail tastes tart, grassy and refreshing, with a lemon-like sharpness from the sorrel leaves. Mint or cucumber can soften the herbal edge, while extra sparkling water makes the flavour less intense without adding sweetness.
No, an unsweetened sorrel mocktail is made without alcohol. A mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink styled like a cocktail; if you use a bottled mixer or prepared syrup, check that it has not been made with alcohol.
Yes, dried sorrel can be used in an unsweetened sorrel mocktail, though it is usually steeped and strained rather than muddled. Let it infuse in hot water, cool the infusion completely, then add lemon, ice and sparkling water.
An unsweetened sorrel mocktail pairs well with lime, cucumber, mint or ginger. Add these sparingly at first: sorrel is naturally tart, and a strongly flavoured mixer can overwhelm its fresh, leafy taste.
An unsweetened sorrel mocktail is best served fresh, because the leaves can darken and sparkling water quickly loses its fizz. If needed, refrigerate the strained sorrel mixture in a covered container and add ice and sparkling water just before serving.
Yes, make an unsweetened sorrel mocktail with still cold water, chilled sorrel infusion or ice instead. Sparkling water adds lift but is not essential; using still water also lets the sharp sorrel flavour come through more clearly.
Sorrel leaves contain oxalates, so an unsweetened sorrel mocktail is not a great choice for everyone to drink in large amounts every day. People with a history of oxalate kidney stones should ask their clinician about suitable portions.
To make an unsweetened sorrel mocktail less sour without adding sugar, dilute it with more cold water or sparkling water and serve it over plenty of ice. Cucumber can also mellow the flavour; avoid adding extra lemon.
Yes, frozen sorrel works in an unsweetened sorrel mocktail. Thaw it in the refrigerator and drain excess liquid before muddling, or blend it with cold water for a slushy texture; the flavour may be less fresh than with newly picked leaves.

An unsweetened sorrel mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink built around sorrel, the tart leafy green also known in Turkish as kuzu kulağı. Depending on the recipe, the leaves may be blended with liquid or used to infuse it; this version has no added sugar. Sorrel gives the drink a fresh, distinctly tangy taste rather than the sweetness found in many soft drinks.
Serve it chilled as a refreshing drink alongside a meal or on its own on a warm day. Its sharpness pairs well with mint or citrus, and you can dilute it with more water if you prefer a milder taste. It is light in energy, with 8 calories per 100 g, making it a good option when you want a flavorful drink without added sweetness.
