As Easter gatherings and long spring weekends approach, it’s time to swap out the winter warmers for something lighter, brighter and packed with flavour. Thatcher’s Juicy Apple is the perfect crisp, mouth-wateringly sweet cider that tastes just like biting into a freshly picked apple.
From relaxed garden lunches to hosting friends over the bank holiday, cider cocktails are an easy way to add a fresh twist to your usual favourites. And when it comes to apples, few know them better than Thatchers!
At Myrtle Farm in Somerset, the Thatcher family cares for orchards that grow 458 different cider apple varieties, one of the largest collections in the UK, resulting in a wide range of perfectly balanced ciders. So whether you’re looking for a classic taste of summer in a pint or an exciting cocktail, Thatchers has you covered.
Using Thatchers Juicy Apple as a base, these three simple cocktails bring orchard-fresh flavour to your Easter celebrations.
Juicy Apple Spritz: A bright and refreshing serve made for sunny afternoons. Aperol brings a bittersweet citrus edge, balanced by the crisp sweetness of Juicy Apple and a splash of soda for a lively finish. Garnish with orange and apple slices for a vibrant springtime cocktail.
Juicy Amaretto: Rich, smooth and effortlessly drinkable. Amaretto adds a subtle almond sweetness, whilst a touch of orange liqueur lifts the flavour before Juicy Apple tops the tipple beautifully with a refreshing apple finish.
Elderflower & Apple Mojito: A fresh, floral twist on the classic mojito, this light and lively cocktail pairs fragrant elderflower with the crisp sweetness of Thatchers Juicy Apple cider. Zesty lime and cooling mint bring a burst of brightness, whilst the juicy apple notes add a refreshing finish. Effortlessly drinkable and perfect for spring entertaining!
