Martinelli's Gold Medal Sparkling Cider
What it is
This is a non-alcoholic sparkling beverage made from 100% pure apple juice. It is crafted using a blend of U.S.-grown apples, which are then pasteurized and carbonated to create a festive and refreshing drink. The juice is filtered to ensure clarity and a smooth taste. It is packaged in a glass bottle, often with a distinctive gold foil cap, evoking a sense of celebration and quality.
How people cook with it
Sparkling cider is a popular choice for special occasions and everyday enjoyment.
- Served chilled as a festive drink
- Used as a non-alcoholic alternative at parties
- Mixed into mocktails and punches
- Enjoyed as a refreshing beverage any time
To best enjoy, chill the bottle thoroughly before opening. The carbonation can cause it to foam, so open it carefully, especially if it has been shaken. It is best served in a champagne flute or wine glass to appreciate its effervescence. It can be poured directly from the bottle. For mixed drinks, it adds a sweet and bubbly element. Leftovers can be resealed and refrigerated.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fermented apple cider, this product is non-alcoholic and retains the pure, sweet flavor of fresh apples. Its carbonation provides a lively texture similar to champagne, making it a suitable substitute for alcoholic sparkling wines in many settings.
Who it is for
This beverage is enjoyed by families, hosts of gatherings, and anyone seeking a celebratory drink without alcohol.
How to keep the rest
After opening, the bottle should be tightly resealed with its original cap or a stopper. Store the remaining cider in the refrigerator to maintain its carbonation and freshness. It is best consumed within a few days of opening for optimal flavor and fizz.
