Everywhere I have been lately they have been serving hot apple cider. I went to my friends in Wisconsin last weekend and a couple of the stores gave you a little cup of it to sip on while you shopped.....on the way home I stopped at an apple orchard and also a craft barn and both places also were serving the tasty hot drink. Do you like hot apple cider? I like it better now then I did years ago and find it an nice alternative to coffee or tea.....so do you like hot apple cider?

I don't like apple cider either. I have never had it but I don't think I want to try it either. Doesn't sound very good. Sorry.

I wouldn't have it very often either...just once in a while for something different.

soyporteno you have to at least try it first before you say you don't like it. It is different. I don't like it but I try it. As my father once told me your taste buds change every 7 years. your friend onlydia

I have never tried hot apple cider. I have never been anywhere where they serve it. I think it would taste awful. It doesn't sound very good. I don't really like apple juice either so I think that if I don't like apple juice then I would probably not like apple cider either. Is it similar in taste, maybe just hot and spicier? I would rather drink tea or soda or just plain water. Oooohhh or hot chocolate, I love hot chocolate! Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

When i was younger there was no way in the world i would have even thought about drinking apple cider. As i have aged i have also gotten smarter and will now sip on it during the colder days of winter.

Maybe that's why I wasn't thrilled about it....it was good but not something I would buy to have at home.

I love hot apple cider, I make it quite a lot in the winter time. I make it also at christmas time when all my family members get together. But I still like my coffee too.

my hubby's sister owns an apple orchard and they dont sell the apples or anything but do pick them and press all the apples into cider. before you drink it, you have to boil it to get all the impurities out. we get several bags every year and well, it is easy to get tired of, but once in awhile, its nice to drink.

To be honest with you I can't tell you the last time I had apple cider, hot or cold. I am not a big apple juice person but I do love to eat apples.

I love hot apple cider but it hasn't gotten cool enough yet where I live to think about buying any of it. I like sprinkling a little cinnamon in. I agree it's a great change from the coffee I usually drink. This discussion of apple cider reminds me of what fall used to feel like when we lived up north.

I love hot apple cider. I only ever have it around this time of year though. I am not a coffee drinker and I like my tea iced, so this is a good hot drink for me when it is cold outside.

AH...I am more of a diet coke fan! But sipping on it while shopping was a treat.

I am more of a cold drink person, but it is good once in awhile. I like my ice cold diet soda best too.

I love apple cider hot or cold. I just bought some cold stuff from Kroger. I usually drink it in the morning or when I get home from work.

I seem to be the only one in my family that LOVES hot apple cider. I love it with a whole stick of cinnamon in it as well. I also love the freebie days at stores with food. There's been days I've eaten a full meal basically from them. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

It's been a while since I've had hot cider. Personally, I prefer chilled cider. I've had some pretty good cider this fall. There are some local producers who make delicious cider. Hmm.... Now, I want to go buy some more.

AH..I do think it's better when it comes directly from the orchards.....and not the powdered kind.
