You want the ultimate cider cheat code? Freeze it. Yes, apple cider freezes beautifully. Just pour a little out of the bottle to leave headroom (liquids expand, and you don’t want an icy explosion in your freezer).
Then, seal it up and freeze it. It’ll last indefinitely in a deep freeze. When you want it, just thaw it in the fridge for a day. It’s like having a time capsule of autumn.
