pomme sweet

What’s been served to Kate Middleton and Barack Obama, as well as at the opening night cocktail party for a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas?

Give up?

It’s La Face Cachée de la Pomme ice cider, produced just 40 minutes outside Montreal. And if that isn’t enough of an endorsement, Neige Première ($24.95 at the SAQ) has been deemed the world’s best ice cider at the International Cider Challenger in the U.K.
