Chili Lime Watermelon is the newest Imperial Cider flavor from Texas cider brand Austin Eastciders and it offers a celebration of Mexico and a higher 8.3% ABV content.
The playfully tangy, sweet, spicy and refreshing flavor combination draws from a tried-and-true Mexican blend and it boasts an equally interesting color. Pink, cloudy and unfiltered, the cider features fresh pieces of Pacific Northwest watermelon and Californian chilis and Mexican lime juice. Described as a "Tex-Mex culinary tradition with a modern twist," this cider builds upon the success of Austin Eastciders' already popular watermelon ciders.
This new cider flavor got its flavor cues from the tradition of enjoying chili, lime and salt on freshly cut watermelon and it features a standout limited-edition can design by renowned Mexico City artist Vals.
