Hot Summer Day - Cool Vegan Cider

How about his for a sweet sounding cider - Cider and Blackberry. It tastes as good as it sounds. Serve chilled. I love finding new things that are labelled vegan, takes the hassle out of having to look at ingredients or check with company. So imagine my delight when I found this delicious new cider, at my local Sainsbury's store. Made by Gwynt y Ddraig - try saying that after a few ciders (if you don't speak Welsh). Their website states their cider is available at Supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, Waitrose and Sainsbury's, for convenience. Also sold at certain pubs, including Brain's pubs, which is fab, since none of Brains beers are vegan suitable. The company is located in Pontypridd, Wales, and is soon having it's Open Weekend on 4th and 5th August, so lets hope the sun stays shining. A fun refreshing drink, on a long hot day - fabulous.

More Vegan Suitable Ciders.

My latest mission seems to be to find cider that is suitable for Vegans. Hmmmm, nice mission! The latest finds are these two, scrumptious, yummy ciders. Strawberry cider from Brothers. Wow, this cider is so delicious. It's easy to forget it contains alcohol. it's sweet, it's strawberry tasting. Makes a lovely summer drink, on a hot day - not that we see many of those in the UK. I love this sweet cider. I look forward to finding more sweet, fruit ciders. Also I found this refreshing cider, which is more traditional tasting (that is just apples!), from the wonderful Welsh Cider company Gwynt Y Ddraig. I'm not sure if all of their ciders are vegan, but this one is labelled as suitable for vegans making it sooooo easy to buy! I can't wait to try their Cider and Blackberry.
A good reference for vegan alcohol is Barnivore. Check it out, make a not of your favourite vegan drinks, and head to your nearest stockist, in some cases, supermarkets, making it easy to get those drinks in, and when the next sunny day happens, fire up the barby and enjoy. next mission is to check out the barby treats for vegans!

Cider with Raspberry on a hot sunny day...........................

Sometimes you just have to thank supermarkets for their vegan products, especially when they are labelled as vegan, making shopping so much easier.
Here's a gem of a find - Sainsbury's Cider with raspberry. Serve chilled. I'm not a big cider drinker, but on a hot day, a glass of Sainsbury's  Cider with raspberry, served chilled, really does hit the spot. Pure refreshment! It tastes quite mild, neither too much apple or raspberry. It reminds me of summer, and I will certainly be buying the odd one or two when the weather is hot.
It's got me thinking about other flavoured ciders, and which ones are vegan, so I'll be on the look out, and checking, and will report back my finds, and my thoughts. Now, if only the UK had more sunny days......................
