Is "apple juice mixed with carbonated water" a drink exists / is common outside of Germany?
@vaporeon_ here in the US we call that sparkling apple cider, and we use it as a nonalcoholic alternative to champagne
@vaporeon_ in the US we call unfilteted apple juice “apple cider”, and use the term “hard cider” to refur to alcoholic ciders. unless it’s in a context where you’re expecting to buy alcoholic beverages anyway, like on the tap list in a bar or something, in which case we do call it “just” cider
@aescling You call filtered and unfiltered apple juice by different words? Weird language...
@vaporeon_ apparently canadians say filtered or unfiltered apple juice. we americans are confusing about it instead fur whatever reason
@vaporeon_ it did not occur to me how confusing this is until i just spelled it out lol
@vaporeon_ @aescling non-alcoholic cider is quite common in the states and we often say "cider" to refer to non-alcoholic cider and "hard cider" for alcoholic cider
Although it depends on context, too. Like if you're at a bar and you ask for "cider" it will be understood that you are looking for alcoholic cider
@vaporeon_ @aescling oh aescling responded already haha
@aescling You are telling me that cider does not contain alcohol? I thought that was a type of alcohol?
