Mother Root
Mother Root was founded in December 2018 by Bethan Higson, while pregnant, raising a toddler and working a full-time job in the wine business. As a busy mum, she wanted something delicious to mark the end of a long day, but still feel fresh the next morning, ready for a 6am toddler wake-up call.
She discovered a long-lost American recipe called a “switchel”, famous during Prohibition-era, and fell in love with the uplifting flavour. She gave it a modern twist, making an aperitif- style beverage, designed to be mixed with soda or tonic to make a revitalising spritz to toast the end of a day.
