As hard seltzers continue to make a massive surge in the US, such is the case for hard ciders. Touted as the most gender-balanced alcohol category, hard ciders sales have propelled by 50% in the past decade (Beverage Trade Network), making it an ideal choice for everyone.
Because ciders tend to be lower in ABV, the beverage adds a little light to heavy meals (think Thanksgiving dinner).
Sweeten up your day with a light drink that’s perfect alone or with food.
One hard cider to consider is Rekorderling – a fourth generation, family-owned Swedish premium import from Vimmerby, Sweden. Pronounced Rek-order-lig, the definition means ‘reputable, proper, and good’ which holds truth to its name with its authentic and natural flavors.
In an effort to reduce overall sugar and calorie content, the award winning import’s latest line of hard ciders remained in development for over two years as a way to improve its appeal to a broader set of customers.
Made with 100 percent European apples, the beverage is a blend of fruit and spring water containing about 70 percent less sugar than other ciders on the market. Rekorderlig’s diligent process results in a naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly beverage with a 4.5% ABV.
Rekorderlig’s Pear Cider is simple, light, and refreshing
While the brand is distributed nationally across the US, there are two flavors currently available for purchase in California: Strawberry-Lime and Pear. Of the two varieties, Pear is our favorite. Other flavors coming soon are: Passionfruit, Wildberries, and Mango-Raspberry.
As the flavor implies, the Pear option is a juicy burst of crisp flavor complemented by light carbonation. The thirst-quenching flavor is delicious on its own and subtle enough to enhance your meals when paired. Garnish with a fresh lemon wedge for an elevated taste.
Rekorderlig Hard ciders can be enjoyed by itself or mixed into cocktails.
For those looking for a sweeter cider, Strawberry-Lime is the flavor just for you. Donning a bright pink color, the cider has more of a strawberry sweetness than tart, however, a subtle citrus taste can be noted in its aftertaste. The strawberry flavor’s sweetness buoys cider’s complexity, a good alternative to the crisp taste found in the Pear variety.
Both hard ciders are best served over ice or can be mixed into cocktails. Click here for cocktail recipes.
