Lake City Cider’s Gingersnap Cider
Gingersnap Cider has returned at Lake City Cider! Made with Annapolis Valley apples, blended with fresh ginger root and a touch of molasses, it delivers a flavour inspired by the classic winter cookie. A cozy balance of spice, sweetness, and snap!
Available in cans and on tap.

Support Local
By eating out at local restaurants, you’re not only supporting those restaurants but also the local producers and suppliers they purchase from. When you support local, more of your money stays in the province and circulates back through Nova Scotia’s economy.
