Also asked, is it OK to drink expired cider?

The same goes if your sweet apple cider is expired. Cider may not taste so good after it begins to turn darker, sediment forms, and it starts to froth. It will taste more sour like vinegar, but it's by no means harmful. Honestly, the cider just becomes unpleasant-tasting and slightly more alcoholic.

Subsequently, question is, does Apple Cider expire? Vinegar does not expire after certain time, but its quality will certainly deteriorate (most people are not fond of the changes in taste that are occurring) over time (especially after opening the bottle). Sometimes the apple cider vinegar can become cloudy or hazy, but it's still safe to use.

Then, does Strongbow cider go out of date?

schmeeer. Alcohol in cans does go bad eventually, but if Strongbow is bad after a few months, with all the preservatives it has in as well as alcohol, then it would have been bad before the date too I would wager.

How long does cider last unopened?

Can cider make you sick?

It's very unlikely that it's a cider infection/bacteria type thing. There's not too much that grows in beer and cider, and almost nothing likely to make you sick. Maybe you got some kind of food poisoning from something else earlier. Craft cider is frequently 7%+ alcohol.
