Alongside its flavorful range of switchel beverages, CideRoad is now introducing what it calls a 'Spritzel' as a refreshing twist on traditional switchel drinks.
Traditionally, a switchel takes the from of a sweet, yet tart, beverage that is made with a base of water, vinegar and is often seasoned with ginger and sweeteners like sugar, honey or maple syrup. As CideRoad's Spritzel is slightly effervescent, it is branded as "switchel with a spritz."
The sparkling beverage made with organic fruit juices, botanical essences and apple cider vinegar is offered in an array of vibrant flavors like Blueberry and Honeysuckle, Strawberry and Basil and Watermelon and Mint. Spritzel offers an alternative to other beverages—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—that are sold by the can.
