Stem Ciders Debuts Tangerine Whip as Newest Seasonal Release

Lafayette, CO (March 1) — Transporting you back to your favorite childhood memories, Stem Ciders’ newest seasonal cider release, Tangerine Whip, was inspired by the nostalgic flavor profiles of iconic confections like orange creamsicles and push pops. 

Featuring over 2,400 lbs of tangerine puree per batch, Tangerine Whip showcases a bright burst of citrus flavors, while also balancing the summertime classic’s mouthwatering sweet, creamy mouthfeel. In order to accomplish this without having to introduce lactose, Patrick Combs, Director of Liquids for Stem Ciders employed the use of organic tapioca maltodextrin. 

“We wanted to be inclusive to cider drinkers everywhere, and because lactose is one of the most common allergens in the world, it was important for us to find an alternative that could help translate those recognizable flavors,” said Combs. 

Reminiscent of that delicious wave that envelops you after walking into a neighborhood ice cream shop, Tangerine Whip boasts a beautiful bouquet of vanilla ice cream aroma through the use of high-quality double-strength vanilla extract, which also helps to create a smooth rounded finish. 

“We’ve had tremendous fun in recent years replicating complex flavor profiles found in more mature spirits and cocktail drinks, but Tangerine Whip showcases that we can be playful in bringing back memories from our youth as well,” said Combs. 

Tangerine Whip is now available on draft and in four-pack 12oz cans to-go at all Stem Ciders locations and at local retail stores throughout the national Stem Ciders distribution footprint.
