I had an opportunity to taste test a variety of apple ciders courtesy of Gowan Orchards at the International Food Bloggers Conference.  (You can see me having a little too much fun with one of Gowan Orchard’s hard ciders here.) I was inspired by the delicious flavors, so when my friend Melissa told me about an Apple Cider Bourbon Cocktail her mother made, I knew we needed to share it with you!
