Stormalong Cider, a Massachusetts-based cidery that has made a name for itself by crafting innovative and creative ciders that make use of a combination of culinary and heirloom apples, has well and truly outdone itself with the release of 'White Mountain Magic,' a spiced cider that offers a marvelous sweet note courtesy the inclusion of a small amount of maple syrup.
This particular spiced cider is made from New Hampshire apples and maple syrup combined with high-quality ingredients including vanilla, cinnamon, dandelion root and chicory. The end result is a beverage that makes for the perfect sipping experience on cold winter evenings, and is just as ideal as a standalone drink or as a food pairing.
Gluten-free and boasting an alcohol percentage of 5.2, this spiced cider is available for purchase in four-packs of 16-ounce cans.
