Two words describe One Tree’s Caramel Cinnamon Cider: compulsively drinkable. Place one bottle between two people and it’s like a David Copperfield magic act - the cider disappears in a flash!

Expect cinnamon stick candies to meld into buttery-rich caramel and baked fruit tarts. The 6.8% ABV cuts the sweetness with a vinous-like quality similar to apple wine. Not to mention it smells divine -- like fresh pies baking in the oven. Go in for a sniff and you’ll be so eager for what’s to come that you might accidentally snort it. (Yes, this actually happened.)

It would be real easy for a cider touting caramel and cinnamon to go overboard into sugar high territory, but One Tree exhibits a deftness in balance that is damn near mesmerizing. It’s ideal for crowds, but don’t expect one bottle to suffice -- when it comes to this cider, the word “moderation” just doesn’t apply.
