Blake’s Hard Cider Paloma is the first in the brand's Bar Cart Series and it shares hard ciders inspired by popular cocktails. The debut product from this series takes cues from a popular kind of cocktail made with grapefruit, lime and tequila and it is ready to enjoy on its own or pair with the liquor of choice. As the brand suggests, "make it a true cocktail by adding 1oz silver tequila and serve over ice." Alternatively, the cocktail-inspired hard cider can be used to prepare cocktails suggested by the brand like 'Bring the Heat' or the 'Grapefruit Basil Gimlet.'
The apple cider base of the beverage is built upon balanced sweet, citrus flavors and it is all-natural and gluten-free. The shareable Bar Cart Series is available in six-packs of 12-ounce cans.
