Description
Mother Root is the alcohol-free aperitif redefining drinking for pleasure. We believe flavour comes first and that alcohol has nothing to do with it. We take inspiration from age-old methods of aperitif wine making: maceration, blending and sweetening for balance. But rather than using wine, we use benefit-rich apple cider vinegar and fresh, natural ingredients to guarantee a flavour experience that tastes good and makes you feel good too.
NO BOOZE, JUST BOLD FLAVOURS.
Fierce and fresh, Mother Root is perfect for slow-sipping alone or fast-talking with friends. Our drinks will take you and your palate on an unexpected flavour journey that'll transform the way you drink.
THE POWER OF APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
Apple Cider Vinegar is not a trend. ACV has been around forever. The benefits range from increased energy to gut health but we love it for its ability to supercharge flavour.
Each 480ml bottle makes up to 20 drinks. To keep your Marmalade Switchel tasting fresh, keep it chilled in the fridge once opened, and consume within a month.

How to drink the Marmalade Switchel:

Discovery Duo Tasting Notes
Our Ginger Switchel is sweeter than our Marmalade Switchel because of the ingredients we use. By using honey in the Ginger Switchel, each 25ml serving will contain approximately 6.6g of sugar.
For something less sweet, our Marmalade Switchel has approximately 3g of demerara sugar per 25ml serve. We recommend mixing with soda, or you can try tonic water if you prefer a little extra sweetness.

I'm so pleased that I ordered these. I particularly love the Marmalade Switchel which is helping me not to grab for a glass of wine at the end of each day.JOANNA

Frequently Asked QUESTIONS
Is Mother Root safe to consume if you are pregnant?
However, we also understand that every person and their pregnancy is different. We always recommend checking with a certified medical professional if you have any concerns.
Are any sweeteners/sugars used in your Switchels?
Our Ginger Switchel is sweeter than our Marmalade Switchel because of the ingredients we use. By using honey in the Ginger Switchel, each 25ml serving will contain approximately 6.6g of sugar.
For something less sweet, our Marmalade Switchel has approximately 3g of demerara sugar per 25ml serve.
Is the taste of the apple cider vinegar overpowering?
If apple cider vinegar does come through strongly, we recommend shaking the bottle well before pouring. This makes sure all the ingredients (especially ginger) are properly mixed and you’ll enjoy a much more balanced and mellow pour.
Are Mother Root Switchels vegan?
Our Ginger Switchel isn’t suitable for vegans because we use honey to sweeten the blend – it has brilliant texture, flavour and aroma. Flavour is all about experimentation though, and we’ll keep exploring alternatives.
Our Marmalade Switchel is suitable for vegans. We use demerara sugar as a sweetener instead of honey.
