FAQ's
What type of cider is best used for a Cider & Black?
For a Cider & Black, a crisp and slightly dry cider is ideal. This complements the sweet and tart flavor of the blackcurrant cordial without making the drink overly sweet. Traditional English or Irish ciders are excellent choices.
Is there a specific way to layer the blackcurrant cordial in the cider for the best presentation?
Yes, for an attractive presentation, first pour the cider into your pint glass, leaving enough room for the blackcurrant cordial. Then, gently pour the cordial into the cider. For a layered effect, pour the cordial over the back of a spoon so it flows gently into the cider. This technique helps maintain distinct layers before they naturally mix.
Can I add any spirits to make a Cider & Black stronger?
Absolutely! To give your Cider & Black an extra kick, consider adding a shot of blackcurrant liqueur or a clear spirit like vodka. This will intensify the flavor while increasing the alcohol content. Start with a smaller quantity of the spirit to ensure the drink remains enjoyable and balanced.
What occasions are most suitable for serving a Cider & Black?
Cider & Black is versatile and can suit a variety of occasions, especially informal gatherings like barbecues, picnics, or outdoor summer parties. Its refreshing nature makes it a great choice for events where a light, fruity drink is desired.
How can I make a non-alcoholic version of a Cider & Black?
To create a non-alcoholic version of a Cider & Black, use a non-alcoholic or 0% ABV cider instead of the alcoholic variant. Continue to use blackcurrant cordial as usual. This will keep the drink's characteristic flavor while making it suitable for all ages and those preferring alcohol-free beverages.
