Hard Apple Cider

Once opened, hard cider should be refrigerated and consumed within a week for best quality. Unopened bottles can generally be stored at cool room temperature for several months, but check the best-by date.

Serve chilled for a refreshing experience.

Experiment with different styles, from dry traditional ciders to sweeter, flavored varieties.

Use in cooking as a substitute for white wine in sauces, braises, or deglazing pans.
