Sassy by name and sassy by nature; this handcrafted rosé cider certainly lives up to its moniker. It has been lovingly created by a pair of young Frenchmen - childhood friends Xavier d'Audiffret Pasquier and Pierre-Emmanuel Racine-Jourden - who were keen to revolutionise what is not only their favourite beverage, but also Normandy's most famous export. Employing the expertise of a cellar master with more than 30 years'experience, they have succeeded in giving'cidre'a very modern twist. Gluten-free, 100% natural and made from apples that were organically grown in Château de Sassy's orchards, this is one of the lowest calorie alcoholic drinks on the market. The recipe is a heavily-guarded secret that combines almost twenty different varieties of apple, including the pink-fleshed Geneva Crab that give it its distinct colour. The result is a clean, sophisticated, sorbet-esque style that is far removed from those funky farmyard flavours so often associated with Normandy cider. Expect crisp Braeburn apple, plum, hedgerow berries and cream. This versatile off-dry tipple would be perfect served with sunshine, tomato salads, tarte aux pommes, crumble, red berry sorbet or could be wonderful mulled. Sassy has now become the go-to choice for the world's culinary elite - Joel Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, Alexandre Gauthier, Anne-Sophie Pic, David Toutain, Gregory Marchand, the lists goes on - as well as top mixologists and bartenders from Paris to Hong Kong. After finding its way on to the lists of London's Sexy Fish, Bob Bob Ricard, Nola and Pollen Street Social's sister restaurant, surely SASSY has earned a space in your refrigerator?£0.91 per 100.00ml
