This may just be me being a pedantic little bitch, but I hate when people call it "apple cider" Cider is made from apples, the apple is redundant!

Cider can be made from all kinds of good fruits (maybe things other than fruits can count as cider, I'm cideroligist)

I thought the technical term was 'In-cider.'

Cider has to be made from apple juice. It can be flavoured with other fruits, but if it's labeled cider, it has to be apple based.

I guess if a sciencethist says it, it must be true

The type of fruit that you use dictates what you've made. There's no such thing as grape cider.

So the pear cider I have been drinking was a lie?!

It's still got apples in it it's still cider it's just also got pears in it.

Just like wild fruit cider isn't really made from berries. It's just got berries in

Perry is made from pears, it's not just pear-flavoured apple cider.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Only if it comes from the cider district of France, else you have to call it cremant

A shame what happened to him, he was great in friends. But don't change the subject!

Meh, let the apple lovers lean into the fact they are getting the good shit.

Okanagan brand “cider” is vodka, bubbly water, and fruit flavors.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

So vodka orange basically? That's mummy's special drink.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, well... I also have a PIN number.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

To use at the ATM machine?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'll allow it as it implies they mean unfiltered, unfermented apple juice rather than "hard" cider.
