Questions about Cider
Is cider alcoholic?
In British usage, cider usually means an alcoholic drink made by fermenting apple juice. In some places, “cider” can mean unfermented apple juice; “hard cider” is often used to make the alcoholic version clear.
How should you serve cider?
Serve it chilled, around 6–10 °C. Pour slowly down the side of the glass to limit the foam, especially with a lively, sparkling cider.
How do you store cider after opening?
Keep opened cider tightly sealed in the fridge and drink it within a few days; sparkling cider loses its fizz quickly. Unopened bottles are best kept cool and out of direct sunlight.
What food goes well with cider?
Cider’s apple flavour works well with pork, sausages and mature cheese, and it is a classic partner for a ploughman’s lunch. A dry cider also cuts through the richness of fried food.
Can you cook with cider?
Yes. Add cider to a pan after browning sausages or pork, scrape up the browned bits and simmer for about 10 minutes to make a quick sauce; it also works in batter for a light, crisp coating.
What is the difference between cider and apple cider?
Cider is usually fermented and alcoholic in British English, while apple cider can mean cloudy, unfiltered apple juice in North American usage. The names are not used consistently, so look for wording such as “alcohol-free” or “fermented” to tell them apart.
