Palm Beach, Aruba — Radisson Blu Aruba introduces Blu Tap Cider by South Hill Cider, the Caribbean’s first dedicated cider bar in the heart of Palm Beach.
Blu Tap Cider features a rotating selection of handcrafted apple-based ciders developed in collaboration with South Hill Cider, a small, founder-led cidery based in New York’s Finger Lakes region. Produced in limited quantities and shaped by each harvest, the ciders reflect the character of the apples available each season rather than a fixed, mass-produced lineup.
“Blu Tap Cider by South Hill Cider reflects how we approach food and beverage at BLU,” said Shareska Gutiérrez, Director of Commercial Strategy at Radisson Blu Aruba. “Across our concepts, we seek out thoughtful partnerships with producers who work with intention and respect the craft behind what they create. The goal is not scale or volume, but offering our guests experiences that feel distinctive and genuinely well made.”
As the Caribbean’s first dedicated cider bar, Blu Tap Cider introduces a new craft cider experience to Aruba’s Palm Beach dining scene. Guests can explore the ciders through the Cider Flight, a guided tasting designed for discovery.The bar also offers cider-based cocktails, premium spirits, and a curated wine selection.
The experience is complemented by Don Esteban Gourmet, the boutique tapas concept located next door. The menu features artisanal small plates, refined tapas, and premium ingredients such as Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, often referred to as Pata Negra.
Together, Blu Tap Cider and Don Esteban Gourmet introduce a culinary experience at Radisson Blu Aruba rooted in craftsmanship, strong partnerships, and respect for how food and drink are made.
Blu Tap Cider is open daily from 3:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
