Don't Serve Good Cider Ice-Cold
Fridge temperature mutes aroma. For craft and farmhouse ciders, aim for 45–50°F — pull the bottle out 15 minutes before pouring.
Very cold temperatures suppress aroma and flavor. That's great for hiding flaws in mass-market ciders, but it hides the good stuff too. Crisp, light ciders can go colder; complex, tannic ciders shine a bit warmer.
