“Ordered one of each and preferred the marmalade but have found it impossible to order more. When questioned why I was told they were making more. That was 2 months ago and still can’t get it. What sort of company is this? Don’t they want to make money.”
Hi Tina - Thank you for taking the time to review. Sorry to hear you are disappointed in regards to ordering our Marmalade Switchel. Our Marmalade Switchel is a limited edition product, but we are bringing it back! We produce it annually in the Seville Orange season (so are starting now on the next production) and are due to release 2024 Marmalade in June.
Hi Pat - thank you for taking the time to review. The vinegar tends to be stronger as an aroma than taste. So tips for reducing the aroma to get optimum balance:
- lots of ice in the glass
- fresh citrus garnish (eg slice of orange)
That helps to balance the vinegar aroma.
You could also look to use less, approx 15ml plus a mixer like tonic, ginger ale or alcohol-free sparkling wine. The Switchel will be more subtle but will help to bring extra bite and complexity to the mixers. And if that’s how you like it, your mother root will last twice as long!
We also have some great recipes on our website that you could also try, for a different way to drink Mother Root - https://www.motherroot.london/blogs/recipes
“Fabulous alternative to alcohol free me from now on. Whats not to love! Tastes perfect with ice, fruit, & herbs of your choice, topped up with tonic water is my preference. I have ordered a 2 monthly supply. Thank you. Good Luck with your great product…… keep it coming 🌝”
“Took Mother Root with hot water and spoonful of raw honey to soothe a sore throat. The best cure ever! Love this drink, hot and cold, full of goodness and a great alternative to the glass of wine!”
“Bought as a non alcoholic Christmas drink and love it with sparkling water with a sprig of rosemary, but actually gave me more than just an alternative refreshing drink as I went down with a heavy cold on boxing day and used in hot water as a tonic, and it was AMAZING! Incredibly soothing and healing.”
“I have tried so many alcohol free drinks and they all seem so artificial , sweet or with a weird after taste .This product is so nice, it's natural tasting with perfect balance of sweet with ginger kick. It's great with ice and tonic and feels special. I've loved it over Christmas as alternative to alcohol and will definitely be getting more.
Super quick delivery and nice packaging too. Thank you”
“Loved it ! Refreshing, tasty and so nice to have a non alcoholic drink that is not too sweet. My new go to choice. Hoping that this is widely available when going out or I will have to take my own!”
“Bought this product for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it!!!
Customer Service brilliant
Taste is great
Certainly not cheap, but worth the investment
Delivery perfect (and during the busy Christmas period)
Mother Root - you have a loyal customer 💜”
“Lovely taste, tried it cold with tonic water or hot when I’m full of cold.
Delivery is so quick, well packed. Brought smaller bottles for Christmas presents.”
“Due to health reasons I have had to turn T-Total and been looking for alternatives to fizzy pop and squash. This is delicious and make a delicious alternative to alc.”
“Not sure what I’m missing here looking at all the other reviews! Received mine this week and tastes more like Kombucha, really unpleasant taste :( Not sure if I have a dodgy batch”
“I bought a bottle of each to try . I really like the Ginger but find the Marmalade has a distinct taste of ACV which is not pleasurable to me . Was thinking I might get around this by putting a teaspoon of marmalade in the glass with my ice …. 🙂”
Thanks for sharing Lynn. Please do check out our website for more recipes as you may find a different way to drink the Marmalade, but a teaspoon of added Marmalade to your glass does also sound delicious.
