Why Pear Cider?
When we set out to create FRESH PRESS Pear Cider, we asked ourselves: What flavors feel both familiar and refreshing? What can brighten up a drink while still feeling cozy and inviting?
The answer: pears.
Pears bring a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with crisp cider notes. The flavor is clean and versatile, making it a standout for both cocktail lovers and mocktail enthusiasts. Pear cider has long been celebrated as a fall favorite, but with FRESH PRESS, you don’t need to wait for apple orchard season—you can enjoy that refreshing, sparkling pear flavor anytime.
