Portland Cider Releases New Cocktail-Inspired Pear Lychee Cider

CLACKAMAS, Ore. — June 4, 2025 — Portland Cider Company is transporting taste buds to distant shores with the release of its newest small-batch creation: Pear Lychee Cider. This tropical, cocktail-inspired cider bursts with the juicy sweetness of ripe pears and the exotic floral notes of lychee, offering a refreshing and delightfully unexpected twist on fruit-forward cider.

Crafted with a harmonious blend of Northwest pears and luscious lychee fruit, this aromatic cider opens with a fragrant bouquet and finishes crisp and clean. It’s a cider meant to be savored on sun-soaked patios or alongside your favorite summer fare.

“Pear and lychee aren’t a combination you see every day in cider, but they complement each other beautifully,” said Lynda Parrish, co-owner of Portland Cider Co. “The pear brings soft, juicy sweetness, while the lychee adds an unexpected floral brightness. It’s delicate, distinctive, and totally refreshing.”

With 6.3% ABV and bright acidity, Pear Lychee Cider pairs beautifully with cheese plates, fresh seafood, salads, Asian-inspired dishes, and light desserts. It’s available now in 19.2-ounce Proper Pint cans at select retailers and at Portland Cider Co.’s Clackamas taproom. Cider fans can use the company’s online Cider Finder to locate this small-batch offering while it lasts.
