Proxies Dry Cider

The Mood

Crisp, confident, and unapologetically dry. This is cider with backbone — refreshing yet serious, built for people who want bite, structure, and presence in the glass.

The Taste

Tart apple leads with lift and tension, layered with white florals and subtle French oak. Notes of brioche and apple skin carry through a long, crisp finish that feels closer to brut cider than anything sweet or soda-like.

The Story

Proxies set out to make a cider that behaves like cider — not sparkling apple juice. By meshing apples with verjus, they’ve created a dry, complex expression inspired by farmhouse ciders, Spanish sidra, and the best brut bottles from Normandy. The result is a non-alc cider that’s structured, food-ready, and genuinely convincing — earning praise from BevNet as one of the most compelling alcohol-free drinks they’ve tasted.

The Ritual

Serve cold in a wine glass or tumbler to let the aromatics open up. Perfect with food, especially rich or savoury dishes that benefit from acidity and fizz.
