Notes

Don't have any sorrel juice: Use some hibiscus tea bags. Steep 4 bags in 1 1/2 cups of hot water. Allow it to cool and sweeten it slightly. Then use that as your replacement. Additionally, you can make juice just for this using dried sorrel.
Don't have fresh juices on hand: You can use boxed juices if you have to. Try to stick to brands that are not too acid.
Don't have any fresh ginger: You can use ginger powder instead. About 8 tablespoons (more if you want a much stronger ginger taste. Add it all with water and sugar to dissolve. You may not need to strain it.
