Our Signature

Apple Cider

Fresh-pressed apple cider at The Cider Mill

At The Cider Mill in Endicott, we believe that cider is more than just a drink—it’s a testament to the natural bounty of New York State. Since 1926, we have been a proud landmark for our community, celebrating the simple, timeless joy of freshly pressed apples.

The Essence of Our Cider

Our process begins where the best crops grow. Without being tied to a single orchard, we have the unique freedom to source the finest apple varieties as they hit their peak throughout the season.

  • A Seasonal Evolution Our cider begins in August with the sweet, mellow notes of early-season varieties. As fall deepens, the flavor profile evolves into the rich, full-bodied tang of late-ripening apples.
  • Freshness & Safety Since 2016, we have utilized UV light processing—a gold-standard method that ensures safety while preserving the vibrant, crisp flavor of fresh-pressed juice.
Why New York Cider?

We are proud to be part of a state-wide tradition that is gaining international recognition. As the New York Cider Association highlights, New York is home to world-class cider crafted from apples grown with care across every corner of the state.

The Perfect Pairing

If you ask us, there is no better way to enjoy a glass of cold, fresh cider than with one of our signature “imperfectly perfect” cake-batter doughnuts. Whether you prefer them plain, cinnamon, or coated in powdered sugar, they are crafted fresh throughout the day to ensure you get them warm.

For those who enjoy a sharper contrast, we invite you to try our premium, aged sharp cheddar. The harmony of a crisp apple, a glass of our signature cider, and a slice of sharp, aged cheese is the quintessential taste of an upstate New York autumn.

Cool & Crisp

Cider Slushies

The Ultimate Refreshment

When the late-summer sun is still beating down or the early autumn air takes an unexpected turn, there is one remedy that keeps our guests coming back: The Cider Mill Slushie.

We’ve taken our signature, fresh-pressed cider and transformed it into the ultimate frozen treat. It’s the same pure, crisp apple flavor you know and love, but served at the perfect temperature to cool you down on a warm day.

100% Pure Flavor

We don’t mess with a good thing. Our slushies are made with the same high-quality cider we serve by the jug, ensuring you get that authentic orchard-fresh taste in every frozen sip.

The Perfect Companion

Whether you’re pairing it with a warm doughnut or enjoying it on its own while you browse our gift shop, the slushie is the perfect way to complete the Cider Mill experience. It’s refreshing, it’s iconic, and it’s arguably the best way to enjoy the spirit of the orchard all season long. Stop by the counter on your next visit and ask for yours—it’s a staple of life in the Southern Tier.
