take a sip: black heart cider
So inspired by the Halloween season, we came up with this, Black Heart Cider. Made from real black hearts from the evilest villains of Halloween’s past. Ok… maybe not, but we can pretend! This drink pairs perfectly with our Wicked Halloween party decorations and a dark and spooky night.
