FAQ

  • What is Som?

    Som (s-oh-m) is a zero proof cane vinegar cordial made from organic cane vinegar, cane sugar, and the addition of whole fruits, spices and botanicals that macerate in the vinegar to impart their unique flavor profiles. Som is concentrated and most beverage applications involve diluting with carbonated water or mixing into a cocktail.

  • What makes Som unique?

    Som is made from real ingredients, fresh fruit, high quality organic vinegar, and produced in small batches, made-by-hand, in Portland, Oregon. Each product is a perfect balance of sweet, tart and bold.

  • What is a Cordial?

    A cordial is a concentrated fruit beverage meant to be diluted with sparkling water and served over ice. Some coridals, such as fruit liqueur, are alcoholic and use brandy as their base. Som is naturally non-alcoholic, and uses organic cane vinegar as its base.

  • What happened to Pok Pok Som Drinking Vinegars?

    After 7 years marketing Som as a Drinking Vinegar and sharing it with diners at restaurants and in the natural foods world, we have reformulated our product to further enhance the flavors, revised our flavor offerings, lowered our sugar content, and repackaged our product in a beautiful bar-friendly 500ml bottle with a fresh, sophisticated look.
