Algonquin: Cranberry Ginger
Available Year-Round!
Apple Growing Region: Rochester, New York

An immediate burst of tart cranberry is met by a warm, spicy "kick" from the ginger. This zesty profile is balanced by a semi-sweet apple base that rounds out the acidity and adds a subtle tannic grip. Each sip is bright and refreshing, leaving a lingering, subtle heat on the tongue.

Algonquin Peak is New York's second-highest mountain in the Adirondacks, coming in at 5,114 ft. Accessible from the Adirondack Loj trailhead, this is a challenging hike with over 3000ft of elevation gain to the peak. The summit beautifully opens up to overlook Wright Mountain, both above the tree line and in what's called the "Alpine Zone." The terrain towards the top is rocky, steep, and difficult, but the views are well-worth the effort.
