Excerpt: "Switchel is an old fashioned sweet-sour-spice drink.
"Where switchel originated is still debated. New England, the Caribean, China? No one knows for certain where it came from.
"What is certain is this popular 17th-century drink helped the colonials beat the heat. Think Plymouth Rock Gatorade in a stone jug, minus the red dye #40.
"Its popularity continued among hard-working farmers in the summer when they were out haying, giving switchel the name haymaker’s punch.
"And today with all of the sports and energy drinks available, you won’t find a more refreshing drink for a hot and humid day when you’ve been busting your backside out in the sun.
"Or for sitting on the back porch under a patio umbrella watching someone else work in the sun.
"Switchel was made with ginger, a splash of tart apple cider vinegar and something sweet like molasses, maple syrup, or honey. The ginger made it easier on your stomach to drink a lot of cold liquid all at once. The apple cider vinegar cut through your thirst and left you smacking your lips, satisfied, and ready to get back to work.
"Switchel kept you hydrated and replenished your electrolytes long before we knew enough to be concerned about depleted electrolytes."
