Premium contest/2022-05 - Simply Cider

Have you ever shopped for a particular flavor of apple cider but couldn't find the right one?
Well, now's your chance to design some.

Here are the requirements:

1. Design the apple used in the messaging (ie: a tart green apple) must be 15/15/15.
2. Design taste messaging for hot apple cider using the apple.
3. Design a second taste message for hot apple cider using the apple in 1.
4. Design another apple (ie a golden yellow apple).
5. Design taste messaging for cold apple cider using the apple in 4.
6. Design a second taste message for cold apple cider using the apple in 4.

Example of a Submission:

1. a blush pink apple
2. Allspice, cloves, and cinnamon are sweetened by cane sugars to create a rich and warm, sweet apple cider.
3. The hot drink is thick with harvest fresh sweet cider that almost masks the rum it is infused with.
4. a shiny green apple
5. Cold taste messaging.
6. Cold taste messaging.

Entries

Aethyra

1. a copper-tinged honey apple
2. Infused with cinnamon and spices, the warmth of the sweet cider brings out the slight essence of honey inherent to this particular variety of apple.
3. The honeyed cinnamon fragrance of the steamy cider is so pleasant to inhale that one can't help but linger a moment before indulging in the equally pleasing taste.
4. a pink-streaked scarlet apple
5. Cool and refreshing, the sweet taste of ripe autumn apples in the light pink cider bursts across your tongue, but a hint of cherries and lavender follows right behind.
6. The apple flavor of the delicious pink cider is lightly infused with cherries and lavender, the taste a delicate blend that delights the senses with each sip.

Arianiss

1. a rainbow colored apple
2. Various bright colors swirl around as you take a sip from the hot apple cider.  The mixture of flavors is very sweet from the fruits used to make the rainbow effect.
3. As you take a sip of the hot apple cider you taste several fruit mixtures.  As you ponder the flavors, you idly swirl the cider to mix the colors.
4. a perfect bright red apple
5. Allspice, cloves, and cinnamon, all sweetened by cane sugars to create a rich, sweet apple cider, are common additives used to enhance taste.  None of that is found in this one though and it tastes rather plain.  Maybe another sip is in order to make sure?
6. The apple cider is very plain and tastes just like an apple should.  As you ponder this, and who would make such a plain tasting cider, you start to feel sleepy.  Maybe it's time for a nap?

Kalyrra

1. a crisp fiery red apple
2. This red hot cider smells strongly of cinnamon candies, almost overpowering any other flavors present.
3. Nutmeg, cloves, and crisp apples dance just beneath the more prominent cinnamon bite of this hot cider.
4. a pale amaretto-soaked apple
5. Spiced rum and amaretto flavors mix easily with touches of cinnamon and cane sugar in this cold apple cider.
6. This cider effortlessly combines spiced rum, amaretto, and apple flavors with just a touch of spicy cinnamon.

Obelin

1. a glistening silver-dusted apple
2. Citrus and spice fortify the soft apple flavors of the cider, blending seamlessly to a crisp crescendo.
3. The redolent scents of pie spices, citrus, and honey bely the shockingly tart bite of the steaming cider.
4. a star-stippled void black apple
5. The overwhelming cold of the opaque black liquid blots out all trace of flavor for a moment, shocking the senses before finally giving way to a sweet tartness not unlike unripe fruit.
6. Indescribable sensations reminiscent of the sound of a flock of birds taking flight dance briefly across your palate, begrudgingly giving way to a light fizzy sting.

Roelon

1. a translucent pink apple
2. Spices explode into a multitude of flavors as the warm and semi sweet liquid of the apple cider fills your mouth.
3. Aromatic hints of lemon grass, ginger, allspice and strawberries cascade from the hot cider, blending into synchronized harmony.
4. a plump wintry blue apple
5. Winter cloves, orange zest and camomile accentuates the natural flavors of the apples in the cold, sweet and sour cider.
6. Refreshingly cold, the apple cider reveals notes of snowberries, tkaro root and allspice before giving way to the warm bite of rum.

Traiva

1. a small burnished gold apple
2. Anise and cinnamon cut through the strong, slightly bittersweet cider, the aromas strengthened by the warm liquid.
3. The strong cider is tempered by sweet cinnamon with a bite of anise that lingers on your tongue after the warm liquid is gone.
4. a white fleshed shiny pink apple
5. The cool rosy cider is honey sweet at first, then fades into a refreshing splash of lemon and raspberry mixed with apple.
6. Tiny bubbles from the cider tickle the nose, carrying hints of lemon and raspberry blended with the honey-sweet apple.
