Mother Root makes bold, alcohol-free aperitifs.   

Mother Root is here to ignite pleasure in everyday moments with a full flavour experience to stimulate the senses. Our alcohol-free Switchels challenge what feel-good drinks can be. We exist for busy balance seekers. Followers of flavour who relish every opportunity and won’t compromise on taste. 

Our founder, Bethan, applies her obsession for craft, ingredients and the art of blending that she developed during a decade-long career in the wines and spirits trade. She borrows traditional techniques from the alcoholic world and applies these to our switchels, using apple cider vinegar instead of alcohol to extract every delicious detail from the all-natural ingredients and botanicals in our drinks. 

The result is an unexpectedly bold, yet familiar blend with a refreshing zippiness that fires up the senses with each sip. Our drinks flow with flavours so big you can’t help but taste them, feel them, live in the moment with them. Helping you to switch off from today and stride into whatever your tomorrow looks like.

Lovely packaging and great flavour. Just what I was hoping for. I drink mine simply with ice and sparkling water and it is the most refreshing thing!

The marmalade switches is a great summer substitute for a negroni when I don't want to drink alcohol, but I want a grown up drink.  I shake it with ice and top it up with a low calorie tonic water.  Perfect!

Love the ginger switches. Marmalade is nice too but after trying both twice I settled on the ginger as my favourite. I keep taking it to friends’ places to try and they always insist on keeping the bottle. I love that it tastes like a grown up drink that you actually want to have at a party even though it has no alcohol in it. The bitters element works well as an aperitif or a late night stomach settler. Brilliant find that my nutritionist recommended to me.


Fantastic environmentally-conscious packaging which speaks volumes about the care this brand puts into its product experience. I got both the Ginger and the Marmalade, mixed each with soda water and a slice of lemon - Ginger has a nice bite to it and leaves a satisfying tingle on the lips; the Marmalade has a bitter depth to it which I think will great with tonic water. I saw a review somewhere comparing it to a Campari, which I can confirm. My partner and I are definitely long term brand converts and customers now. 

Absolutely love  the Ginger Switchel, I have it with a large lemon slice or 10ml of lemon juice and topped up with sparkling water... Its so refreshing and healthy yum yum 😋

A hero product, utterly hardcore.  I am unable (not unwilling!) to drink alcohol and struggle to find anything to replace alcohol: this product is one of the few tools in my drinking armoury.  Kind thoughts, Andrew.

I’ve had both the ginger and the marmalade switchels. I’ve been ordering since I stopped drinking alcohol and they are amazing for those times I want something more special than tea or squash. They are both full of great ingredients and the ethos of the company making products when the ingredients are in season is important to me. A little goes a long way and I love them with both soda and tonic. They keep well in the fridge and have a zing that is making my mouth water as I’m writing this. Quick response to my orders which were shipped quickly and packaged well. 

This is a refreshing non alcoholic drink for grown ups. It's so nice to have something that you really don't miss the alcohol in and is tasty and not coke or lemonade.  My summer go to drink.

I first purchased Mother Root for my husband who loved anything ginger. Initially I made a long cold drink with soda, lemon and ginger with ice cubes. A really refreshing drink. During his illness I was making ginger tea with cinnamon, cloves, ginger and adding honey as it cooled slightly. Adding Mother Root into this mixture gave it the extra ginger hit. The tea helped to relieve the mucus from lung disease. 
I have repeatedly purchased the product and also given as a gift too which went down well. 

I love the Marmalade Switchel and will keep it on a subscription. Nice added to an occasional G&T!
Will now try the Ginger Switchel, expect to be wowed!
