Sassy Organic Alcohol-Free Cider 275ml

Alcohol is not a prerequisite for sassiness…

This has every right to be sassy because it’s one of the finest alcohol-free alternatives that we’ve ever tasted. It was made in the same way as Maison Sassy’s classic Normandy ciders, but with the alcohol spun off. Gluten free, vegan friendly, 100% natural and made from handpicked apples that were organically grown in Château de Sassy’s own orchards. The recipe might be a heavily guarded secret that combines many different varieties of apple, but the result should be shouted from the rooftops. Sassy 0.0% has a farmhouse funk and lots of fabulous fruity freshness. The tannins give it a little bit of bite that’s often missing in other AF products. Perfect for anyone not drinking or abstemiously trying to cut down, designated drivers, those doing Dry January or Sober October, and summer barbeques without the hangover.

Sassy by name and sassy by nature; this handcrafted cider certainly lives up to its moniker. It has been lovingly created by a pair of young Frenchmen – childhood friends Xavier d’Audiffret Pasquier and Pierre-Emmanuel Racine-Jourden – who were keen to revolutionise what is not only their favourite beverage, but also Normandy’s most famous export. Employing the expertise of a cellar master with more than 30 years’ experience, they have succeeded in giving ‘cidre’ a very modern twist.

Sassy has now become the go-to choice for the world’s culinary elite – Joel Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, Alexandre Gauthier, Anne-Sophie Pic, David Toutain, Gregory Marchand, the lists goes on – as well as top mixologists and bartenders from Paris to Hong Kong. After finding its way on to the lists of London’s Sexy Fish, Bob Bob Ricard, Nola and Pollen Street Social’s sister restaurant, surely Sassy has earned a space in your refrigerator?
