Wölffer Estate Vineyard in Sagaponack recently launched its latest product, No. 139 Botanical Cider, created in partnership with Mab & Stoke.
To create this cider, the vineyard’s classic recipe was infused with herbal extracts curated and blended by Mab & Stoke — an ecologically responsible herbal wellness company based in East Hampton.
The herbaceous and fruitful libation is created with herbs including ginger, lemon balm, elderberry, pomegranate, dandelion root, and turmeric, creating an earthy rose and orange color tone.
Here, Wölffer shares a cocktail using its new Botanical Cider, as well as its Pink Gin.
