Conventional wisdom has long held that the resumption of large-scale American beer production after Prohibition led to the use of 'adjuncts' not typically found in European beer—most notably, corn, rather than a full grain bill of barley or a combination of barley and wheat. These cheaper ingredients led to a bland, watered-down brew, and until the resurgence of craft beer in the US over the past 20 years, it was impossible to find a beer made with ingredients that America's first European settlers would have recognized; at least, that's how the story goes.

Halloween is over, so we’ve had our fill of pumpkin beer. Now we're all about hard cider. The age-old beverage has gotten more and more popular recently, becoming a fixture on many American bar menus, with a cider tap right next to the draft beers.
But as tasty as cider is on its own, its natural acidity and lift make it a perfect cocktail ingredient. Dump just about any brown spirit in cider and you've got a killer drink; opt for one of these slightly more complex cocktails and you'll get an incredibly sophisticated drink with minimal effort.
This month is National Better Breakfast month and we though it'd be fitting to post some popular cocktails to welcome on brunch. Enjoy.
