Thing #15: Pear Cider

In college, many of my friends were not "beer people," so on mug night, a night that required they drink a 32 oz mug of something alcoholic, they drank cider. I tried drinking 32 oz of cider once, and it was a terrible idea. The carbonation added to the sugar plus the alcohol was nearly enough to do me in. I never tried again.

Last year, on a particularly enjoyable girl's night at the Leafe, I discovered PEAR cider. This concoction is the same as apple cider, but it tastes exactly like sparkling pear juice...but it's alcoholic. What a delightful combination.

Today at Harris Teeter, there was a display of Woodchuck Draft Pear Cider at the front of the store. I purchased some. Today needed redemption after beginning with an apartment at 59 degrees (though the space heater and dehumidifier have SIGNIFICANTLY improved my predicament, as well as the fact that my warm clothes are now all clean). Regardless, the pear cider was a perfect drink for a day like today. It's almost a fall beverage, and it's delicious. And, in case you missed it, it has 4% alcohol/volume. This is a good thing.

Ahhhhh.
