It’s an apple cider cocktail, not a beer-tini.
We love a glass of cider and we love a glass of cold beer – so why not put them together? Enter the apple cider cocktail. Come fall, with the herbs, spices and flavors today’s craft brewers are using, cider and beer are a natural fit for some delightful seasonal sipping. This Honey Cider Beer Cocktail fills a pitcher and will be a welcomed addition to any fall festivity.
