Boost Your Hydration with a Persimmon Switchel

Feb 05, 2024

Introducing the Persimmon Switchel! Also known as "Haymaker's Punch," Switchels have been hydrating hard workers since the 17th century. By the 19th century, this traditional drink was a farmer's best friend during hay harvests, hence the nickname. Our modern twist on this immune-boosting, electrolyte-replenishing beverage features our Naturally-Fermented Persimmon Vinegar, which supports heart, liver, skin, and digestive health. Switchels are also perfect for batching and keeping in the fridge for a refreshing, healthy drink anytime!

Ingredients: 

Serving size: roughly 2 mocktails.

  • 1¾ cup of sparkling water

  • 3 tbsp Persimmon Vinegar

  • 1 tsp of persimmon purée

  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (or to taste)

  • 2 tsps grated ginger

  • 1/4 tsp of cinnamon

  • 1 pinch of salt

  • Pomegranate seeds to garnish

Directions: 

  1. Mix all ingredients in a pitcher.

  2. Optional: add your favorite spirit to make it into a cocktail. We recommend a splash of Persimmon Brandy from our friends at Ventura Spirits.
