Seminary Hill’s Summer Cider and Food Pairings

Make the most of the warm-weather months with these quick, easy summer pairings from Seminary Hill’s cidermaker Stuart Madany.

Host an Aperitif Hour

When life gives you lemons, peel, twist, and garnish: a glass of Hen’s Teeth on the Rocks makes the perfect aperitif. Rub the glass rim with a lemon twist, then drop it in and pour the cider. It makes for the perfect pre-dinner drink, courtesy of Seminary Hill.

Become a Grilling Expert

Stay cool while grilling this summer. Whether you’re preparing chicken, pork, or corn, a fully-chilled, sparkling class of November Nonsense pairs perfectly. Despite its name, this cider’s high acidity makes it a refreshing match for anything coming off the grill.

Don’t Forget Your Fruits and Vegetables

Serve glasses of Nicksen with a melon plate or vegetables of your choice. You can also punch up your platter with grilled halloumi, an excellent pairing for Nicksen.
