Snack attack

Cider and snacks are a match made in heaven. Virtually any cider will taste divine with a cheese and charcuterie plate with thinly sliced apples, figs or nuts as accoutrements. If that sounds like too much work, try these instant snack pairings for every type of cider.

Dry

Choose a snack that’s not overbearing, like flatbread and hummus, to protect the delicate flavours of a dry, unflavoured cider.

Semi-Dry

Pair any salted roasted nuts with your favourite semi-dry cider for a home-run combination. Don’t be afraid to go for a flavoured variety—anything from spiced candied nuts to tamari almonds will work.

Semi-sweet

Freeze some grapes and pop them in your mouth for juicy bursts of sweetness alongside a semisweet cider, especially one that’s blended with berries or cherries.

Sweet

Contrast sweet ciders with salty, spicy snacks like barbecue corn chips, spicy Doritos or Cheddar Jalapeño Cheetos.
