Drink of the Week: CideRoad Organic Switchel

We’ve been touting the praises of switchel—the old-timey thirst-quencher of Colonial days—for some time, now (it was even an Imbibe 75 featured flavor in 2014), and today’s Drink of the Week—the Organic Switchel from CideRoad—marks an easy-drinking entry to the historic brew. Made with organic Vermont maple syrup, apple cider vinegar and ginger juice, it’s a tonic developed for teetotalers and imbibers alike. Straight from the bottle, it has a mild, kombucha-like tang, but without fermentation’s fizz (or trace alcohol). Mixed with bourbon, well, it becomes a cocktail we’re sure would make our founding fathers proud. Cideroad.com for distribution info, and to purchase online.
