Stormalong Cider has introduced a new line of non-alcoholic Apple Cider Spritz beverages that are crafted from whole, locally sourced apples and other regional ingredients like Maine Wild Blueberries and Cape Cod Cranberries. The line features three flavors — Awesome Apple, Bravo Blueberry, and Captain Cranberry. Each is made with fresh, unfiltered cider and natural fruit blends.
Stormalong Cider's non-alcoholic Apple Cider Spritz is designed to offer a healthier alternative to sugary drinks, with no added sugars or artificial sweeteners. The product is estimated to contain half the calories of traditional sodas. The inclusion of regional fruits adds a unique, artisanal touch that sets it apart from mass-produced juices and guarantees a refreshing and authentic taste.
