As American as Apple Pie

As Jazz musicians used to say during the 20's and 30's: "There are many apples on the success tree, but when you pick New York City, you pick the Big Apple."

Apples are all over the world, of course, but america is very proud of their production (I heard there are aprox 10 000 different varieties of apples grown in the world, the US grow more than 7 000 of them.) It's some how part of the history of the country, they say George Washington used to enjoy pruning his trees, and the East Coast is the main producer.

Apple Cider is something new for me, it's not like the alcoholic drink that I knew, but it's thick and still delicious. You can make an amazing cocktail with warm apple cider, cloves, cinnamon and maybe a shot of whisky, rum.... It's up to you.
