A little orchard charm, a little West Coast swagger. Golden State Dry & Mighty is a non-alcoholic apple cider with bright apple flavor, juicy freshness, and a crisp finish. Made with fresh, cold-pressed West Coast apples, it brings an inviting balance of fruit and refreshment to the glass. For afternoons that turn into evenings, dinner on the patio, or simply something delicious alongside your sandwich.
Why We Love It
We love a cider that lets the apples do the talking. Dry & Mighty keeps its focus on bright fruit and a refreshing finish, making it a versatile companion for the table. Enjoy it casually from the can or give it a wine glass and a dinner invitation. It’s gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and made without added sugar.
How to Drink Golden State Dry & Mighty
Serve well chilled, straight from the can or in a tulip glass or white wine glass. Start without ice to enjoy the cider’s full flavor.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — Orchard After Hours: Fill a wine glass with ice, add 1 oz Free Spirits Bourbon and 2 dashes All The Bitter Aromatic Bitters, then top with 5 oz Golden State Dry & Mighty. Stir gently and finish with a long orange peel, expressed over the glass. Apple, warming spice, and citrus make a rather compelling case for staying awhile.
Pair it with: Sharp cheddar, mushroom flatbread, roast pork with apples, or a grilled cheese sandwich with Dijon mustard. Its crisp character makes it especially appealing alongside rich, savory food.
