SXOLLIE (pronounced sko-llie) doesn't describe itself as a cider but a "xider" that's refreshing, super drinkable and lightly carbonated. This beverage aims to challenge perceptions of cider and it has the potential to replace other alcoholic options as a choice for the mindful drinker that's all-natural, as well as free from concentrate or added sugar.
Made naturally like a wine with Champagne yeast and only eating apples, SXOLLIE is deliciously different. The available varieties include Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and Cripps Pink and they are prepared much like wine, thanks to the use of single varietal apples.
This xider speaks to consumers who are looking for a refreshingly different alternative to wine or gin and tonic cocktails, or even those who find themselves steering clear of traditional ciders.
