Calvados Cocktail Variation

Calvados Cocktail Special

Calvados Cocktail

Variation of the above.

3 Glasses Calvados (2 oz Laird’s Bonded Apple Brandy)
3 Glasses Sweetened Lemon Juice (Juice 1/2 Lemon)
(1 teaspoon Caster Sugar)

Shake very Thoroughly and serve.

Since this was just an Apple Brandy Sour, I didn’t feel quite justified in using the Germain-Robin Apple Brandy in it.

Perfectly tasty Apple Brandy Sour, and quite refreshing.

Dunno why it is called a “variation on the above” or why it isn’t named simply “Calvados Sour”.

Let me know why you think this interpretation might be incorrect.

This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.
