Sorghum-Inspired Beverages You’ll Want to Sip On All Fall


Sorghum is an excellent staple to include in an array of meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But did you know sorghum can also be used in some of your favorite beverages, too? With many forms of sorghum, such as whole grain and syrup, the possibilities of mixing up a deliciously creative beverage are endless.

Adding whole grain sorghum to a smoothie can amp up the protein and fiber content while adding a rich texture. Sweet sorghum on the other hand can be used like traditional sweeteners to add a sweet kick to your favorite cocktails. From fall ciders and smoothies to tea and horchata, you can formulate a tasty refreshment your tastebuds will be happy to sip on.
