Sunny Fall days (and rainy weekends!) call for refreshing beverages celebrating the season's Honey Crisps, Granny Smiths, and Galas.
Luckily, Baltimore farmers, retailers, and mixologists know how to channel Johnny Appleseed and serve us their versions of fresh apple cider - some of it liquored - to help us keep the doctor away from Halloween to Thanksgiving.
Those seeking hot or cold apple cider and family-friendly activities should hop a hayride to one of the many family owned, "pick-your-own" farms in the area. Weber's Cider Mill Farm, located seven miles outside of Baltimore city, serves cider through the Autumn months - and is currently whipping up fresh batches of apple cider donuts for a warm, yeasty confection to accompany your beverage.
Closer to Washington, D.C., Heyser Farms in Colesville, Md. presses and serves its own "raw" or unfiltered apple cider using its Spencerville Red apples. This farm is so all about cider, it holds an annual Pumpkin Gulley Apple Cider Festival with taste-testing, sampling, and cider-making viewing. This year the festival is held November 7 and 8.
The spice booth anchoring Waverly Farmer's Market (32nd Street Market) brews hot, spiced apple cider through Fall and Winter. Cider thirsters looking to gather groceries while sipping something sweet and warm should try a ladle-ful at the market, held every Saturday morning from 7 a.m. to noon.
Need some Wi-fi with your apple cider? Smedly's cafe in Fells Point serves both hot and cold versions of fresh apple cider in its homey, artsy shop.
Mixologists at the new B&O Brasserie in Downtown Baltimore's Hotel Manaco even know how to pay allegiance to nature's perfect fruit. For $12, B&O serves a cocktail with warm apple cider, Madeira wine, and Darmbuie liquor, sprinkled with roasted nuts.
Forbidden fruit? No longer. It's all so deliciously red.
