FAQ's
Why was the Ciderlada™ created?
The Ciderlada™ was created as a gluten-free alternative to the classic Mexican cerveza cocktail, the Michelada. This drink is tailored for individuals who enjoy the refreshing mix of Latin-inspired flavors but prefer to avoid beer, either due to dietary restrictions or personal preference. The combination of Casa Cobre Original Real Sangrita with chilled cider offers a distinctive taste experience, catering to those who love the spiciness and tanginess traditionally found in a Michelada, but with a cider twist.
What type of cider should be used in a Ciderlada™?
The Ciderlada™ calls for a cider that is crisp and refreshing. For this cocktail, Stella Artois Cidre is recommended, as it provides a smooth, fruity flavor profile that complements the spicy and tangy notes of the Casa Cobre Original Real Sangrita. However, any high-quality cider that is similarly balanced can be used. Ideally, the cider should be well-chilled before mixing to enhance the drink's refreshing qualities when served.
Is the Ciderlada™ suitable for a gluten-free diet?
Yes, the Ciderlada™ is suitable for a gluten-free diet, which is one of its unique selling points. Unlike the traditional Michelada, which uses beer (a gluten-containing ingredient), the Ciderlada™ substitutes beer with cider, a naturally gluten-free beverage. This makes it an excellent option for people with celiac disease or those following a gluten-free lifestyle who still wish to enjoy a flavorful and refreshing cocktail.
What foods pair well with the Ciderlada™?
The Ciderlada™ pairs wonderfully with a variety of foods, particularly those that enhance the savory and spicy elements of the drink. It goes well with Mexican and Latin-inspired dishes such as tacos, nachos, or spicy salsas. Barbecue or grilled meats can also complement the Ciderlada™'s robust flavors. The drink's tangy and crisp nature also pairs nicely with seafood dishes like ceviche or fish tacos. The key is to choose foods that balance with and enhance the drink's spiciness and refreshing quality.
What occasions are ideal for serving a Ciderlada™?
The Ciderlada™ is ideal for casual gatherings and fiestas, where its refreshing and tangy taste can be appreciated. It's perfect for hot summer days and outdoor picnics, being a chilled drink that provides a cooling effect. Its association with Mexican-inspired cocktails makes it a fitting choice for Cinco de Mayo celebrations or any themed parties centered around Latin culture. Furthermore, its gluten-free nature makes it a versatile choice for various dietary needs, suited for diverse gatherings.
