My Favorite Fruit Pairing

Growing up, one of my favorite candies was chocolate covered cherries. There’s something about the tartness of the cherry that blends perfectly with the bitterness of the chocolate. For those of you who follow Rebel Hive, you know one of our best selling meads is Cherry Lee Lewis. This mead is a combination of sweet and tart cherries, with the tart cherry dominant in the flavor. Did you also know our meadery is only an hour away from Hershey, PA? We even have a stand at the Hershey Fresh Market! 

This led to an obvious conclusion… we have to add Hershey’s cocoa to Cherry Lee Lewis! That’s exactly what we did to create Cherry Lee Lewis Chocolate.

Oh and for all the people out there with no clue what to get for Valentine's Day… this mead makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift! (Don’t worry, we’ll tell her it was your idea!)

The Perfect Pairing of Cherry and Chocolate

The story of Cherry Lee Lewis Chocolate begins with a careful selection of tart and sweet cherries. These cherries, known for their vibrant flavor profile, bring a refreshing tartness that awakens the senses. But the magic happens when this tart cherry base is lovingly aged on 100% Hershey Cocoa Powder, a product synonymous with quality and decadence in the world of chocolate.

The result is a harmonious blend where the natural bitterness of cocoa balances the sweetness of the cherries, creating a mead that is complex, sophisticated, and utterly irresistible. This perfect pairing of cherry and chocolate in Cherry Lee Lewis Chocolate offers a sensorial experience that is both familiar and novel, much like a well-orchestrated symphony.

Crafted with Hershey's Legacy

Our proximity to Hershey, PA, inspired us to infuse our mead with the legacy of one of the most iconic names in chocolate. Using Hershey Cocoa Powder is our nod to a brand that has defined American chocolate for over a century. It's our way of bringing a piece of local heritage into every bottle.

This decision to use Hershey Cocoa Powder was deliberate. We wanted to create a mead that resonates with the rich history of Pennsylvania while celebrating the global love for chocolate. Cherry Lee Lewis Chocolate is our tribute to this legacy, an ode to the sweet wonders that Hershey has offered the world.
