Left Foot Charley's Tepache
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | April 6, 2024
Warm weather is finally on the horizon, and we can’t think of a better way to welcome it than Left Foot Charley’s Tepache hard cider. Inspired by Tepache, a traditional Mexican fermented beverage, this dry and highly-sessionable cider (which clocks in at around 5 percent ABV) begins with an apple base fermented with whole pineapples and Piloncillo cane sugar, before a final steep with warming clove and cinnamon. The result is a juicy-tropical sip with a round palette and crisp, fruity finish. Take a glass ($8) out to LFC’s patio and enjoy it with some snacks from Spanglish—the pork tacos make the perfect pairing—or go into picnic mode with a growler ($23) to go. Find Left Foot Charley in the Village at Grand Traverse Commons: 806 Red Dr., Suite #100, Traverse City. (231) 995-0500; leftfootcharley.com
