Local ciders
Nine Pin Ciderworks recently launched a variety pack of light ciders, inspired by popular cocktails. The pack includes a mimosa cider, as well as a cosmo and mule cider.
"Our Cocktail-Inspired Variety Pack is a celebration of innovation and craftsmanship," said Alejandro del Peral, co-founder and cidermaker. "We wanted to offer cider enthusiasts a unique and exciting tasting experience that combines the familiar comfort of classic cocktails with the crisp refreshment of premium cider."
The mimosa light cider is crafted with apples from Samascott Orchards in Kinderhook and infused with tangerines. The cosmo variety also uses apples from Samascott, and is co-fermented with cranberries from Deer River Cranberries in Brasher Falls. The mule variety is made with Samascott apples, and infused with ginger.
