Cheers to Newhall Farm for sharing this tasty cocktail recipe with us!!
Of course Newhall Farm Ice Cider can be dessert by itself, but for an intriguing aperitif try it with Vermont vodka and a bit of spice. Though the spring crocus we typically see in New England is not Crocus sativus from which the exotic spice saffron is born, this beverage based on a fruit of fall, winters over as ice cider, only to surface at spring in a delightfully refreshing cocktail that wafts of a summer breeze.
