- Fill a thin fizz-glass two-thirds full with cider.
- Add the lemon juice and a long bar-spoonful of fine sugar.
- Stir and drink during effervescence.
- Nose
- Fresh cider and lemon make for a bright, immediate fizz aroma.
- Palate
- This sits at the edge of the fizz family, showing how the label could apply to naturally lively cider as well as shaken spirit drinks finished with seltzer.
- Finish
- The finish is appley, bright, and short.
- Summary
- A cider-side fizz broadening the family beyond spirit-led formulas.
