Welcome back to Thirst for Knowledge where two nerdy people try to answer all your (and our) questions about your (and our) favorite alcohols.
This round is cider. What better beverage to discuss in the fall. It conjures up images of apple picking, apple cider donuts and lots, and lots of plaid.
In this episode, Ben comes prepared with the history and fun facts and of course Dr. Lex has to bring parasites into the discussion. Hot tip: Make sure your cider is pasteurized!
So pour a pint and join us for some sips and some knowledge and don't forget to click that subscribe button!
And always, always, drink responsibly!
Recipe for a Cider Moscow Mule cocktail is here:
2 oz vodka
2 oz hard cider
1.5 oz fresh lime juice
3 oz ginger beer
Combine in a copper mug or glass, adding the ginger beer last. Garnish as desired.
