Fresh strawberries coupled with juicy pear. This cider is sweet and fruity, especially good when served chilled on a hot summer's eve

Each of the Mangrove Jack's cider varieties has been formulated with only the freshest and best quality fruit which is then pressed and concentrated using our state of the art evaporators, and then cold filled into a pouch. All this effort ensures that the natural flavour of the fruit is preserved, giving you cider which is fresh, crisp and especially good on a hot summer's day. If you don't like pears, just remember a cider a day also keeps the doctor away.
