Zeffer Cider Co. Cidre Demi-Sec
New Zealand
Want a fresh cider alternative to store-bought ginger beer? New Zealand’s Zeffer Cide
Co. Cidre Demi-Sec may be just the ticket. This traditional French cider is wild
fermented, bright and effervescent. The perfect backdrop to fresh ginger, sweet
pineapple-infused rum, and the warm spiced infusion of Angostura’s own Caribbean
Amaro.
Makes 1 Cocktail
Make sure your pineapple is nice and ripe to provide maximum flavor when infusing
your rum, and don’t forget to save the fruit for boozy ice cream toppings, later on, no
waste!
