Whoop that cold with a belt....of Fire Cider!

Traditionally  taken daily as a health building preventive, digestive aid and at the onset of colds or flu Fire Cider is based on the New England folk remedy of apple cider vinegar and honey.  Amy and Dana have boosted this heirloom recipe with a synergistic blend of roots and fruits rich in vitamin c. Our friends, customers and co-workers also report using this spicy, sweet tonic to add pep to their dressings, Bloody Mary’s, marinades and more. Fire Cider is much like a large bear on a cold winter night, a large bear that mauls what ails you!

Fire Cider is currently for sale at Dottie's Coffee Shop on North St. in Pittsfield.  You can get a sample, buy a shot or a bottle and you can get the best coffee in the county there too! For a list of all our other retail loactions or to place an oder online please visit....

Fire Cider Marinade: whether you are grilling, baking or sautéing, you can use Fire Cider straight from the bottle as a ready to go marinade for meat, fish, tofu and veggies.

Fiery Bloody Mary: Try mixing a few tablespoons of Fire Cider into your favorite tomato/veggie juice; add ice and vodka, if you like.  Super quick, even better for you and yeah, it’s got a great kick to it!
