The 'Electric Currant' craft cider uses ample amounts of blackcurrant in order to create a truly [bold yet satisfyingly tart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kopparberg-sweet-vintage) drinking experience, with a gentle modicum of heat from [ginger root](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worlds-angriest-cider) blending perfectly with the freshness and vibrancy of citrus to make for a perfectly balanced yet undeniably unique brew. Available in four-packs of 16-ounce cans for $16, this blackcurrant cider is a fine example of how creative choice of ingredients and brewing techniques can well and truly push the horizons for cider flavor profiles.
