Day 19 – Apples & Pears Morning Today’s bottle from my Lilley’s Cider advent calendar is a 5.2% lightly sparkled Apples & Pears cider.  I do think it’s funny that they can’t seem to decide whether they’re lightly sparkled or lightly sparkling, but that’s beside the point.  I wasn’t sure if this was going to…
