Dry cider
What it is
Dry cider is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented apple juice, characterized by its lack of sweetness. It has a crisp, refreshing taste and is often enjoyed on its own or as a mixer in cocktails.

Its effervescence adds a lively quality to cocktails, making it a popular choice for those looking for a lighter alternative to heavier spirits.
Taste
Crisp and refreshing with a hint of tartness
How it is made
Dry cider is produced by fermenting apple juice, where the sugars are converted into alcohol by yeast. The fermentation process can vary in length and temperature, affecting the final flavor profile. Some producers may use specific apple varieties to enhance the cider's dryness and complexity.
History
Cider has a long history, dating back to ancient times when it was made in regions of Europe where apples were abundant. The first documented production of cider occurred in France around the 5th century. Over the centuries, cider-making techniques evolved, and dry cider became particularly popular in regions like Normandy and the West Country in England.
In cocktails
Bartenders often use dry cider in cocktails to add a refreshing and effervescent element. It can be used as a base for cocktails or as a topper to add a fizzy finish. Serving tips include pairing it with spirits like gin or whiskey, and garnishing with fresh herbs or citrus for added flavor.
Worth knowing
The word 'cider' is derived from the Latin word 'ciderium', which means 'fermented drink'.
