Colorado-based Stem Ciders is renowned for churning out carefully crafted and wonderfully unique ciders that are inspired by the diversity of nature's bounty, and this is most definitely the case with the advent of its new carrot ginger turmeric cider, which offers a novel blend of flavors.
Launched as part of the Botanic Cider series, the carrot ginger turmeric cider makes use of Stem Ciders' in-house fermented dry apple cider base. This cider was then infused with the earthy sweetness of carrot, the subtle heat and spice of ginger and the unmistakably earthy and slightly spicy turmeric.
By making use of a trio of ingredients that are perhaps more renowned for their use in healthy juices and smoothies, Stem Ciders has managed to craft a truly delectable and unique cider.
