Sidral Mundet Apple

Sidral Mundet is well known in Mexico, but unless you spend any time looking in the ethnic food section of your local grocery store, you may not be aware of it. The drink was the creation of Don Arturo Mundet who began bottling it in 1902. Real apples are supposedly used in the brewing process. It is said Mexican mothers give the drink to children with upset stomachs... sounds like the role 7-Up has here in the States.

This beverage has a good level of carbonation. Oddly, there was an almost entirely imperceptible aroma of any kind ever when holding directly under my nose. The flavor reminds me of a crisp Gala apple. It is light and palate cleansing. There aren't many American bottlers making any sort of apple soda so give this a try if you find it at the market.
