Merridale Launches Summery New Mexico-Inspired Jalisco Cider
Merridale Cidery & Distillery, located in Cobble Hill, British Columbia, has recently launched a new cider that is sure to be a hit this summer. Inspired by the flavors of New Mexico, the Jalisco cider is a refreshing and unique addition to their lineup.
The idea for this cider came from the owners of Merridale, Janet Docherty and Rick Pipes, who were inspired by their travels to New Mexico. They fell in love with the vibrant and bold flavors of the region and wanted to bring that same experience to their customers.
The Jalisco cider is made with a blend of apples, including the traditional cider apple, Kingston Black, and a variety of New Mexico chile peppers. The result is a cider that is both sweet and spicy, with a hint of smokiness.
According to Docherty, the Jalisco cider is perfect for the summer season. She says, “It’s a great cider to enjoy on a hot day, whether you’re lounging by the pool or having a barbecue with friends. The flavors are bold and refreshing, making it a perfect choice for any summer occasion.”
The name “Jalisco” comes from the Mexican state known for its tequila production. Docherty explains that the name was chosen to pay homage to the inspiration behind the cider and to add a touch of Mexican flair to the product.
The Jalisco cider is now available for purchase at the Merridale Cidery & Distillery, as well as select liquor stores and restaurants in British Columbia. It can also be ordered online for delivery within the province.
Merridale Cidery & Distillery has been producing award-winning ciders and spirits since 2000. Their commitment to using locally sourced ingredients and traditional methods has earned them a loyal following and numerous accolades.
With the launch of the Jalisco cider, Merridale continues to push the boundaries and offer unique and delicious products to their customers. So, if you’re looking for a taste of New Mexico this summer, be sure to try the Jalisco cider from Merridale.
