Pro Tip 2/3
Not Apple Cider
Don't confuse perry with apple cider; both are fruit ciders but from different fruits. I enjoy both apple cider and perry, but the flavors are quite distinct.
Pro Tip 3/3
Cultural Beverage
Perry is traditionally English; knowing this can encourage cultural conversations. Visiting England, I wanted to taste traditional drinks, so I ordered a perry.
