Cider of the Week!

by | Jun 24, 2021

Pom Cherry
Winsome Ciderworks, Woodinville WA

This one’s for the red fruit fans. Scarlet in color with a tight white collar of foam and brilliant clarity, Pom Cherry balances sweet culinary apples, bold cherry skin, and tart pomegranate seeds in its bright, fragrant aroma. Clean and crisp on the palate as the can proudly proclaims, the flavor steers into the cherry and pomegranate notes and offers just enough light acidity to give this drink a quenching quality. Semi-sweet in the finish with one last echo of Bing cherry, Winsome has made a modern fruited cider that is all about approachability.

Price: $15 /4-pack  | 6.1% ABV

Taste the Tropics with Tuesday Cocktail Club’s NEW Pineapple Mai Tai 🍹 The delicious ready-to-clink cocktail line from @avidcidercompany, has a new elevated topical flavor: Pineapple Mai Tai. 🍍 With tropical notes and a zing of lime, this is an adventurous yet balanced gluten-free, apple wine-based cocktail, breezing in at 10.5% ABV. “We took the hard part about making craft cocktails and made it easy. Those flavors you thought were exclusive to your favorite cocktail lounge are now right in your fridge, ready to crack anytime,” said Samantha Roberts, co-founder of Oregon’s AVID Cider Co. “We’ve been working on perfecting Pineapple Mai Tai, and it’s all about the beach-vibes. No mixing, no squeezing, no fuss. Just crack it open and head to the island.” Follow @tuesdaycocktails #cidercraft #drinkcider #pickcider
