Yesterday, I talked about cider black and tans. Today, I will turn my attention to some of the cider cocktail recipes I have managed to collect.

JB Worcester UK posted on the Cider Workshop a calvados brandy and hard cider drink which he called “frogs nose,” and claimed it is better than pommeau.

Crispin Cider, always looking to promote their product, has posted several recipes.

• They have a section called the Lazy Bartender, which are basic drinks in which cider replaced an ingredient.
• They have another section called Creative Cocktails, including an area to submit your own cocktail made with cider.
• On their blog, they posted the Kesler Ginger Crisp, made with gin, Crispin, ginger, ice, and lemon. The blog also is where the recipe for the Eastern Saint Cocktail Recipe, which is ginger flavored vodka, St. Germain, and their artisanal reserve Crispin Cider Saint.

Other sources of cider, both sweet or hard, drink recipes include:
