Cider surprise

We have all heard of, and probably tasted, sparkling cider. While there are many manufacturers of sparkling cider, I believe that Martinelli's Gold Medal® is the best. Whether during the holidays, for birthdays, celebrations, other special occasions, or simply on a regular basis, sparkling cider is a delicious treat to indulge in and is always a Nemeth household regular. Yes, I will admit, when I was younger this is what my friends and I would drink on New Year's and during the Christmas season. Now that I am 21 I may step it up a bit with some alcoholic beverages of choice, but I will not soon forget the famous, mouth-watering taste of Martinelli's.

Why is Martinelli's sparkling cider just so tasty? Well, one could argue, the loads of sugar in it. However, one 8 oz. glass of Martinelli's has less sugar than most sodas of the same quantity. But the real reasion is, more naturally, the distinct taste is the result of harvesting the most flavorful apples and varieties near the Monterey Bay region of coastal California south of San Francisco and San Jose. The apples are tree-ripened and hand-picked to perfection. Martinelli's is pasteurized and there are no added preservatives, concentrates, or sweeteners.

Martinelli's makes many products including regular apple juice, but when it comes to sparkling cider, there are a variety of flavors available including Apple-Cranberry, Apple-Raspberry, Apple Wild-Berry, Apple-Marionberry (what is this!?!? try it and let me know), Apple-Mango, Apple-Grape, Apple-Cherry, Apple-Peach, Apple-Pear, Apple-Pomegranate, and Concord Grape. Many of these flavors are spectacular, but normally, I stick with the original. It is absolutely delicious and by far the easiest to hunt down in a store. I recommend buying Martinelli's at a place like Price Club or Sam's Club or some other large wholesale dealer because this is where you will find your Martinelli's in a generous 4-pack and at a reasonable price. This way you can stock up for the holidays in bulk and not have to make numerous trips to the store.

So the next time you're looking to sit down with a nice drink and relax for the holidays, or for a celebration, or on just any occasion, consider Martinelli's sparkling cider!! You really cannot go wrong.
