Blake's Hard Cider Co - American Fashioned

Ripe apple up front, with smooth oak and a hint of cherry-orange zest standing in for the rye and bitters: lightly carbonated, so it drinks closer to cider than cocktail.

Now labeled "American Fashioned" on Blake's own site (same 0.0% ABV product previously known as Non-Alcoholic Apple Old Fashioned). An Old-Fashioned-style cider cocktail built on apple, oak, and citrus zest instead of whiskey and bitters.

Key ingredients: Apple, cherry-orange zest, oak.

Good to know: Gluten-free. Independent, family-owned Michigan cidery: three generations back to a 100-acre apple farm in Armada, MI.

How to enjoy: Serve chilled, straight from the can.

Swizzle's Take: This is the one we recommend to whiskey people who are cider-curious. It meets them with oak and orange peel instead of asking them to like fruit first.
