Mother Root 5 star review on 28th December 2025

“You need to double the amount to get the ginger kick - so 50ml rather than the 25ml advertised, plus smell and taste of vinegar still overpowering and ruins the experience - even when adding lots of ice and citrus , as advised. It gives you heart burn due to the vinegar. The menu included is a nice touch. Disappointing for the price. 10 drinks maximum out of a bottle that costs £30 (with postage), if you like a strong taste/kick. The new bottle design makes it feel cheap. I had high hopes after reading the reviews, but for the price, sadly disappointed. I’d achieve the same result making my own ginger shot and adding ice and soda water - plus way cheaper. Don’t waste your money like I did.”

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience – we’re really sorry to hear that it didn’t live up to your expectations. We understand how frustrating it must be, especially when you were excited to try it based on the reviews. Our drinks are naturally bold and vinegar-forward, but we do aim for balance – though we know that flavour isn’t for everyone. It sounds like you gave all the right serving suggestions a go, and we’re sorry they didn’t help in your case. We also appreciate your thoughts on the new bottle design and pricing – feedback like this is so important and genuinely helps guide our decisions going forward. We’re glad you liked the menu touch, and while we’re sorry you won’t be returning, we truly value you giving us a try. If you’d be open to chatting further or if there’s anything we can do to help make this right, please don’t hesitate to reach out at hello@motherroot.london. Thanks again – your honesty helps us improve.

“Tasted nice. But far too much sugar content. Won't be purchasing more for that reason.”

Hi Viv, sorry to hear that you wont be purchasing from us again. We only use natural sugars (no sweeteners or gum etc) and believe our honey in ginger, or demerara in marmalade contribute hugely to the overall flavour and texture. As we're all about flavour, we're really particular in the ingredients we choose, in search of making a balanced, bold and immensly satisfying drink, that just happens to be non-alc. while it does add some sugar, our drinks are typically less than a quarter of alcoholic drinks.

“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.

“Personally I found it a bit vinegary”

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”
