Have you ever felt like you were missing the sweet-tart deliciousness of cherries in your life and suddenly found yourself desperate for a fruit-forward, alcohol-laden cherry punch in the jaw that will transform your world into rainbows and kittens? I have. I have been on this magical journey, friends. And the answer is Brickworks Parkside Cherry Cider, whatever your question is. Let's see. Well, here comes a childhood story... fair warning. In highschool, my Dad used to make me a cherry jam sandwich Every. Single. Day. To my utmost delight and enjoyment. While the merits of this overly sweet compote have dwindled with age, the cherry fragrance of this cider was unmistakably similar. AHHH, YOUTH. Let's not reminice lest this blog becomes a sounding board for psychological counselling. The taste! Don't you wish you were tasting a cider RIGHT NOW? As if you neeed a reason to go out and buy one. DO THE THING. It's amazing. It's not overly sweet and certainly fruity but kind of like eating a grapefruit. Not at all similar in taste. But, like, you're eating a fruit and it should be sweet, right? Tell THAT to Grandma Edna that served you your first grapefruit half, pretty and pink and glistening but hiding its dark secret of intense, face-scrunching bitterness and holy-hell-how-do-I-finish-this feeling of betrayal for breakfast. YUP. This one is fierce, dear readers. But do not despair as I LIKE a tart cider without all the sugar and highly recommed this one for refined palates who find grapefruit a complete misnomer. 5% ABV and available at the LCBO in Brickwork's pretty seasonal cider pack. Get 'em. #brickworks #ciderlover #parksidecherry #drinkallthethings #nomakeup
