Hm. I didn't know apple cider had alcohol in it. Maybe some don't have the stuff? lol. But really, I don't think alcohol tastes so great anyway. And it hurts my tummy even if it's watered down a lot lol. I don't understand how some people like to drink it so much. It's yucky.
Cider –noun the juice pressed from apples (or formerly from some other fruit) used for drinking, either before fermentation (sweet cider) or after fermentation (hard cider), or for making applejack, vinegar, etc.
Pear cider? That sounds delicious! I don't recall ever having that when I lived in the UK... how did I miss it? I've never seen it over here in the US, but now I'm on the hunt for it! Pick up a six-pack of Woodchuck Hard Cider, hide your keys, and drink it all. Yes, it DEFINITELY has alcohol. My husband picked up tickets for us to attend a concert with a bunch of friends. Brews, brats, and banjos... ok, maybe no banjos, but definitely brews and brats, and hopefully some rockin' music to pass the night. Should be fun, I hope.
I am (apparently) going to get lost on the lightrail, if I make it, go ice-skating with my best friend evar, then stay at her house, where we will probably drink apple cider (the non-alcoholic variety, to be clear) in fancy wine glasses and pretend it's real (because we're insane), and probably bang pots and pans outside and scream lots at midnight. Then we'll (maybe) sleep.
Hehe. Ashleigh's been on the Kopparburg Hehe. That stuff doesn't taste alcoholic at all, but is about 4.5%, so everyone gets drunk off it. And Leaka, I've noticed that "cider" in the US refers mainly to apple juice, whereas in the UK it's fermented. I think that's the root of the problem. And I do like my cider. Magners, Bulmers (I prefer the Bulmers though), or the aforementioned Kopparburg. One of my friends lives in Herefordshire, so I wanna go visit and try the farm-made stuff
The fruits one is like (vaguely) alcoholic ribena I think you can get non-alcoholic Kopparburg pear, too...
US cider is usually non-alcoholic, unless it's labeled "hard cider", meaning it's been fermented, not just squeezed and preserved. If you're unprepared for it, hard cider will knock you flat. I have hazy, vague memories of my last encounter with it.
True. Here in the US, when we want to refer to the fermented, alcoholic ciders we usually call it hard cider. (at least in Florida)
And applejack is distilled hard cider - basically an apple whiskey. Back when I was in high school, I distilled some applejack with minimal water content as a chemistry experiment (not for school, I had my own chem lab). One sip and my tongue and lips were numb for several minutes.
I will stick with my whussy American soft cider thanks. I like walking straight and not puking on myself.
Oh, okay. Well that explains a lot. I don't really care for alcoholic beverages anyway. So I'm not interested in hard cider. Vodka smells like windex to me. Grand Marane just test awful, like rot or something. Margaritas taste like rotten fruit. Alcohol is just nasty. Wine taste gross too.
I am so excited. I am going to spend the last day of 2008 at the spa!!! and then after the spa I am going to a party with good friends and family.
With some drinks, they taste really bad at first...but before you know it...you are on your third. Then, you don't care what it tastes like.
Yup! I dig Bacardi and Coke (a-cola) but the first one always makes me retch, the second is tolerable:redface:, the third is pleasant, the forth is great!
Mixing it makes it worse. Then it taste even grosser. My dad put vodak and orange juice. It taste like rotten fruit mixed with windex. Yuck, yuck
Try vodka and lemonade. Or, if you don't need to be sleeping any time soon, vodka and red bull. My drink, other than cider, is usually JD and coke
No vodka and Redbull. 1.) It tastes worse than piss. 2.) It is not a gogo didea to mix stimulants and depressants.
