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 that do not include all requirements and follow the guidelines will not be considered eligible.
Contestants have until 11:59 p.m. PT on May 31, 2022 to get entries to me.


Ten winners will be chosen from the submitted entries.

Like all Premium Monthly Contests, entries are subject to change based on the discretion
of the GMs and QC. Entries will be judged during the first week of June. Zoelle
will not judge this contest except in the rare case of a tie. The winners will be
announced as soon as possible afterwards. Zoelle reserves the right to make any changes
to items that she, or QC, deems necessary.

Please direct any questions to the Premium Contests folder on the official message boards.

Entries

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.
