How do you like them apples? On the rocks, thanks.

Move over Halloween! Everyone's favorite October holiday is already upon us: National Applejack Month. That's right, 31 days of boozy, cider-filled glory. Now that's a Phoenix-approved holiday.

Historically, applejack was made by freezing fermented apple juice to force the water to the top, then removing the excess water to make the alcohol content higher.  It was then thawed, and voila, a concentrated and high-in-alcohol cider remains. Now, it comes in a handy bottle and the only process is giving the cashier at the liquor store a few bucks. Our puritanical predecessors were big fans of applejack, and what better way to celebrate the fall harvest?  Get drunk like a pilgrim this month and try these apple concoctions on for size. We scoured the Internetz to find them, just for you!
