Cider, the alcoholic quaff of a young democracy, underwent a linguistic makeover after Prohibition. It became cider, the nonalcoholic juice of the pressed apple — fit for even children and temperate adults. (Even today, it’s only Americans who call the unfermented, raw juice of the apple “cider.” Everywhere else, “cider” still has a buzz.) Today, we think of cider primarily as something sweet to drink. We pack it on lunch outings. We drink it after school. We drink it hot and spiced after raking leaves. We even drink it after giving blood.

49. glossylalia said: We drink it with a shot of apple brandy and a tablet of apple cider Airborne…you know, to feel healthy. Still I think hard cider is a woefully underrated beverage.
