The OP never distinguished "hard cider" or apple juice???
Big difference between the two, one gives you a nice buzz, and the other gas, LOL!
I have not seen La Benedicta in ages either.
Angry Orchard & Magners are popular hard cidahs.
I buy them regularly in La Rosa Supermarket in Cabarete. Last time was 3 days ago. But true, they are much harder to find nowadays... Presidente, Presidente, Presidente...
