CLACKAMAS, Ore. — November 1, 2024 — The moment the Halloween parties end, Portland Cider Company invites cider fans everywhere to ring in the winter holiday season with its two latest releases: Cranberry Mule and Santa’s Sauce.
Cranberry Mule is returning for a second year, offering ripe cranberry flavors over subtle apple notes with bright, juicy lime and a hint of fresh ginger. It pours a gorgeous ruby hue, adding a vibrant sparkle of color to any festive occasion. Delicious as a cocktail stand-in, or alongside your favorite wintertime foods. Available in 12-ounce 6-packs.
Santa’s Sauce, a taproom favorite for almost a decade, is returning this winter in limited 16-ounce cans. This festively spiced cider is made with Northwest apples, and infused with cinnamon, cardamom, and a touch of cayenne pepper. It’s spicy and warm, pairs well with prime rib or baked ham, and is perfectly suited to holiday desserts like gingerbread and eggnog cheesecake.
“Cider has the unique ability to be fun, festive and elegant all at the same time,” said Lynda Parrish, co-founder of Portland Cider Co. “A pint of Cranberry Mule is perfectly at home alongside a Thanksgiving dinner, and there’s nothing like Santa’s Sauce to wash down your apple pie ala mode.”
Santa’s Sauce and Cranberry Mule are available at select retailers and Portland Cider’s taproom, which is also now reserving space for private holiday parties.
