FAQ
Why do we use Martinelli’s?
Martinelli’s Gold Medal apple juice products are made with fresh apples that are grown with no chemical preservatives.
Can I use a brand other than Martinelli’s?
Yes, most sparkling ciders are affordable and can be found in your local grocery store. There is no need to wait until apple season to get this great product!
Is sparkling apple cider alcoholic?
Sparking cider does not have alcohol, even though it is technically fermented. Hard cider does contain alcohol.
What is the difference between apple cider and sparkling apple cider?
Sparkling cider contains carbonation (carbon dioxide bubbles) and apple cider does not.
Should I refrigerate sparkling cider?
An unopened bottle of Martinelli’s apple cider is sealed and can be stored at room temperature. The bottle should be refrigerated after opening – if there is any left, which never happens at our house.
Ingredients:
- Fresh cranberries
- Cranberry pineapple juice cocktail
- 1 24.5 oz bottle Martinelli’s sparkling cider, chilled
- fresh rosemary sprigs
Directions:
1. We start with an oversized ice cube tray and fill it two-thirds of the way with fresh cranberries.
2. Pour in enough cranberry pineapple juice to fill the ice cube tray. The cranberries will float and stick up above the tray.
3. Place a sprig of rosemary in between the cranberries so that it sticks out above the cranberries but the bottom is wedged into the liquid.
4. At this point, freeze until solid, about 2 hours, depending on the size of your ice cube tray.
5. Place your ice cube into a coupe glass (ours is 10 oz).
6. Pour the chilled sparkling cider into your glass.
