LIQUID CONFETTI

This gently sparkling elixir is fresh, dry, wild and bold! The pears offer a good dose of drying tannins, astringency and crispy acidity; the apples bring in a rounded richness and full mouthfeel. Try with a mild blue or alpine cheese.

EVERYTHING IS MOOD

This bottle of plum cider is cooler than a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce. Golden plums add a zip o' zing to keep you engaged until adequate hydration sets in. The never-ending stream of natural carbonation lends the perfect prickle to get you up and going. When the goin' gets easy the easy get goin'. It's all good.

BLUMP BLOOMP BLIMP

There are only 25 blimps in the whole entire world. There are only 18 cases of this cider in the entire world. That should put things in perspective. This drank squashes free radicals with ease. If it were a blimp they might call it Berries Galore. It's basically a liquid fruit stick without the corn syrup. Strawberries hit hard up front on the nose. The blackberries come and go as they please. Color is stunning. Bubbles are tiny and cute. But in the end this is straight blueberry delight. It’s a for sure right on!

Ooh la-la (apple/strawberry/cherimoya)

Cherimoya are also known as custard apples so it seemed fair to partner them with actual apples. This fruited "cider" drinks like a refreshing adult smoothie on a tropical getaway. The strawberry is hefty yet elegant while the cherimoya adds a creamy deliciousness. A touch of tang kept in check by a kiss of residual sugar. You may even get a few strawberry seed surprises to add to your experience. There's nothing but good clean fun to be had with this somewhat exotic libation.
