Good to know
Fireside tonic, often known as fire cider, is a traditional apple cider vinegar-based tonic infused with ingredients like garlic, ginger, herbs, and honey. It’s known for its bold flavor and long history as a daily wellness staple.
Yes, fire cider is the more widely recognized name for this type of tonic. Fireside tonic is our take on that traditional recipe, made in small batches with real, whole ingredients.
Bold, tangy, and warming. You’ll get the sharpness of apple cider vinegar, the heat of ginger, the depth of garlic, and a touch of sweetness from honey to round it out.
It has a warming kick from ginger and peppers, but it’s balanced, not overwhelming.
We make ours in small batches using real, whole ingredients, never extracts or shortcuts. It’s slow-infused to pull out full flavor and function, creating a tonic that’s both potent and balanced.
For anyone looking to support their system with something simple and real, especially during seasonal shifts or when you want an extra layer of daily support.
A small daily shot, taken straight or diluted in water or tea. It’s a simple ritual: warming, grounding, and easy to come back to.
