Ciders were a type of alcoholic drink, widely produced and consumed in the Realms.[2]
Description[]
A mug of apple cider.
Ciders were fermented from various fruits, either on their own or combined to make particular flavors. Apples were extremely common, but other fruits used included cherries, plums, blueberries, pears, quinces, and gooseberries, with the final appearance and alcoholic strength of the drink varying significantly based on the recipe.[2] A type of cider-based vinegar could also be made.[3]
Availability[]
The sparkling variety of apple cider was pressed by the dwarves and found sold in the town of Eveningstar in Cormyr in the 15th century DR.[1]
