Cranberry Apple Cider Vinegar
Description
Bright-tart cider with a Cape Cod twist
Cranberry Apple Cider Vinegar is our love letter to Massachusetts. We start with apple cider from the north of the state, co-ferment it with cranberries from bogs near Cape Cod, then rest the vinegar in a 25-gallon American oak so the fruit’s sparkle meets a round, graceful finish. The result is a sweet-tangy crowd favorite that lifts salads, grains, and cocktails without the harsh edge of ordinary cider vinegars.
What it tastes like
Clean apple brightness, a gentle cranberry echo, and a soft sweetness balanced by oak-rounded acidity. Think cranberry relish meets crisp cider—vivid, versatile, and easy to pair every day.
Why cooks reach for it
It brings lift, color, and nuance in one pour. Use it where you want fruit-forward tang without extra sugar—vinaigrettes, pan sauces, roasted beets, warm grain salads, or a splash in sparkling water and shrubs. It also plays beautifully with pork, poultry, and smoked or charred vegetables.
How to use it (fast formulas that just work)
- Vinaigrette: 1 part Cranberry Apple Cider Vinegar + 2–3 parts olive oil + pinch of salt.
- Warm grains: Fold a spoonful into farro or wild rice with herbs and toasted nuts.
- Cocktail shrub: Equal parts vinegar and sugar; shake until dissolved; top with seltzer or add to bourbon for a bright, ruby riff.
