Sparkling Apple Cider
What it is
This is a non-alcoholic beverage made from 100% pure apple juice. It is pasteurized and filtered to ensure clarity and a smooth taste. The cider is carbonated, giving it a fizzy quality similar to champagne. It is often made from a blend of apple varieties to achieve a balanced flavor profile. The packaging is typically a glass bottle, which helps preserve its freshness and effervescence.

It can also be used as a base for mocktails, mixed with other juices or sparkling water for added complexity.
