Lowest Carb Hard Cider Drinks

99 hard cider drinks tracked, averaging 20.3g carbs and 182 calories per serving. Cider ferments apple juice rather than grain, and apple juice starts with more natural sugar than a beer wort - even a dry cider typically retains more residual sugar than a light beer, which shows up directly in the category's carb average. Sorted by carbs per 12 oz serving (lowest first), then score.
