    Top pick

    Martinelli’s Gold Medal Sparkling Cider

    Chosen by
    A perfect 10 from Sporked after more than a dozen bottles: “still the best sparkling apple cider you can buy at the grocery store,” with “a big, rich apple flavor,” small bubbles and a foamy head. The organic version tastes the same and costs a bit more.

  2. 2

    R.W. Knudsen Sparkling Cider & Spice

    Chosen by
    The holiday one. Sporked: “bold seasonal aromas like cinnamon, clove, and citrus rind hit you right in the nose,” like mulled cider served cold and fizzy.

How does MyTastr choose these picks?
Every pick is tied to a named chef, cookbook author or food expert and links to the public interview, panel or article it came from. We survey dozens, often hundreds, of top chefs, food writers and critics, and order reflects how often and how strongly a brand is recommended. Only organic recommendations count — paid endorsements don’t — and brands can’t buy a spot. Read how we pick.
