cider

noun SEEDR Rare
Food & Drink Drinks

Usage Note

cidre in France almost always means alcoholic apple cider. Non-alcoholic apple juice is jus de pomme; 'soft cider' as drunk in North America is not a standard French category. Brittany and Normandy are famous cider-producing regions, and cidre brut (dry) vs cidre doux (sweet) is the key distinction.

Examples

"On a commandé une bolée de cidre breton."

Natural Translation

We ordered a bowl of Breton cider.
