GOURMET NEWS DECEMBER 2019 www.gourmetnews.com BREAKFAST 1 6 Hot Ruby Cranberry Cider, made from fresh cranberries, pineap- ple, citrus and spices, began bottling in 2014, and stores across the na- tion have used in-store sampling to create quite the buzz. Hot Ruby contains no artificial dyes, preserva- tives or sweeteners and can be served either hot or cold. A splash of rum or pecan whiskey makes a more "spirited" version, and it mixes with cham- pagne to create a Bubbly Ruby vehicle for a distinctive toast. A two year shelf life and easy sampling will add a new cus- tomer favorite to your shelves. Stores and customers love the Hot Ruby recipe cards offered free with each bottle because they are full of recipes with spirits and without.

Although these products are from Italy, they are indicative of the many traditional foods from Europe that are unique to their respective areas, as well as the production methods which have been handed down from generation to generation by proud ar- tisans who are in tune with the land and the seasons. Because of the great- ness of these foods and their popularity – both at home and abroad – imita- tions have naturally sprung up around the world. Such products bear none of the history, tradition or quality of the originals. While this may seem inevitable, and con- sumers are free to buy what they want, it's important that they ac- tually know what they are buying, how it is made and from what it is made.

NIWRI is a unique beverage cold brewed from green tea and coffee cherries, also known as cascara. "Cas- cara," which means "husk" or "skin" in Span- ish, is the dried skins of the coffee cherries. These pulped skins are collected after the seeds (i.e. coffee beans) have been removed from the cherries. While it can't be defined as strictly coffee or tea but rather something in the middle, NIWRI does derive from the coffee plant. Specifically, cascara is a product of the fruit of the coffee tree. Since NIWRI is a cascara-based drink, consumers can expect a sweet, fruity taste with notes of rose hip and hibis- cus. The essence is like a superb blend of fruits in- cluding raspberry, currant, cranberry and cherry. Both green tea and cascara are reputed to contain antioxi- dants; including this prod- uct among your SKUs allows the opportunity to offer a great-tasting healthy option in one beverage.
