Ice Cider, a Quebec Gem to Rediscover

Quebec ice cider, made from naturally frozen apples, offers a fresh and complex profile. Enjoy it at brunch or as an aperitif, in cocktails like Ice Mule or Nordic Cosmo, and with foie gras, cheeses, or fruity desserts. IGP-certified options are at the SAQ from Domaine Lafrance, Pinnacle, and Neige, with local cideries selling direct.

Often saved for special occasions, Quebec ice cider deserves to be enjoyed more often. Made from naturally frozen apples, it offers a unique balance of freshness, richness, and complexity.

It can be enjoyed at brunch or as an aperitif in creative cocktails like an Ice Mule or a Nordic Cosmo, as well as paired with foie gras, aged cheeses, or lightly spiced dishes. It also complements fruity desserts beautifully or can be sipped on its own as a digestif.

Several IGP-certified ice ciders are available at the SAQ, including those from Domaine Lafrance, Domaine Pinnacle, and Neige, while some local cideries offer their products directly on site.
