Method
Drink
- 1
Chill bottle
Ensure the Strongbow bottle has been chilled in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours (ideally 4–6 hours) so it is properly cold before serving.
- 2
Prepare glass
Place 4 ice cubes into the highball glass or pint. If you prefer your cider less diluted, use 2–3 ice cubes instead.
- 3
Open bottle
Carefully open the Strongbow bottle to preserve carbonation. Wipe the bottle top if needed.
- 4
Pour
Tilt the glass at a 45° angle and gently pour the cider down the side to reduce foam. Fill to about 90% to leave room for garnish and stirring.
- 5
Optional bitters
If using Angostura bitters, add 2 dashes on top of the cider for additional aromatic complexity.
- 6
Garnish and finish
Squeeze the lime wedge lightly over the glass to express the oils and release juice, then drop the wedge into the drink or discard per preference. Give a gentle stir with the spoon or stirrer to combine.
Serve
- 7
Serve immediately while cold. Offer a coaster and a small napkin. If serving more than one, repeat steps for each bottle and glass.
