Hard cider is one of the most popular alcoholic drinks in the world, and it’s been that way for a long time. Between the 1600s-1800s, cider was even used to pay people for their labor. So yeah, it was once worth its weight in gold. Have a sip of dry, off-dry, semi-dry, or semi-sweet hard cider and you’ll be asking for the whole pint soon.

Hard cider is made from fermented fruit. More specifically, it’s mostly made from apples. The apples get washed until they’re squeaky clean, then they’re ground down into a pulp, pressed for juice, and fermented. BAM. Hello cider.

Totally. Hard cider is rated on a scale of sweet to dry. You get the sweeter cider after the fermentation process is done and you’ve added artificial sweeteners, and you get a dryer cider during the fermentation process when all of the natural sugar is converted into alcohol.

On average, hard ciders contain around 4 to 6 percent alcohol. Hard ciders have an ABV that is comparable to most craft beers.

Nope, hard cider is naturally, and gorgeously gluten-free. HOORAY.

Hard cider is best served chilled in a glass. Classic. It’s said that hard cider isn’t supposed to be served ice cold, so if it is - maybe let your drink sit for a bit.
