Cider is a fermented beverage made from apples, with a long and rich history intertwined with the introduction of apple trees (Malus domestica) to the Americas by the Spanish.
Cider (from Late Latin sicĕra, ‘intoxicating liquid’) is an alcoholic beverage obtained through the fermentation of apple juice, though in some regions pears are also used (known as perry or ‘poiré’ in French).
