1/6 Cederlund’s Swedish Punch (1/2 oz Facile Swedish Punch)

1/6 Lemon Juice (1/2 oz fresh lemon juice)
1/3 Burrough’s Beefeater Gin (1 oz Boodle’s Gin)
(Shake and strain into cocktail glass)
Oddly, this recipe has no method instructions and I couldn’t dig up anything on the name.
Anyway, [...]

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 [...]

Calvados Cocktail (6 People)
2 Glasses Calvados (1 oz Germain-Robin Apple Brandy)
2 Glasses Orange Juice (1 oz Orange Juice)
1 Glass Cointreau (1/2 oz Cointreau)
1 Glass Orange Bitters (1/2 oz Aperol)
Add plenty of ice and shake carefully
Turned this into a single serving drink.
Two main puzzles here.
First, I would expect something called “Calvados Cocktail” to be a Calvados [...]

Block and Fall Cocktail

1/3 Brandy (1 oz Korbel VSPOP)

Shake (stir, please) well and strain into cocktail glass.
Another Savoy sweet-and-deadly in the style of the Between the Sheets. This one raises the ante slightly over [...]

Bentley Cocktail
1/2 Calvados, or Apple Brandy. (1 1/2 oz Germain-Robin Apple Brandy)
1/2 Dubonnet. (1 1/2 oz Dubonnet Rouge)
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
A fine, if unremarkable, cocktail. Found it a bit more interesting with the addition of orange peel and a dash of orange bitters.
Some drinky types have mentioned that the Dubonnet sold in [...]

1/4 Calvados or Apple Brandy. (3/4 oz Germain-Robin Apple Brandy)
1/4 Scotch Whisky. (3/4 oz Compass Box Asyla)
1/2 Dry Gin. (1 1/2 oz Plymouth Gin)
Shake (it would be proper to stir, but it really probably doesn’t matter) well and strain into cocktail glass.
*What has Bruce Barton got to do with this?
Bruce Barton was an [...]

1/4 Cointreau. (1/2 oz Cointreau)
1/2 Calvados or Apple brandy. (1 oz Clear Creek Apple Brandy)
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
Building on the previous cocktail calling for “Hercules” I am again using the Spice infused Dubonnet Rouge for this one. I have to admit [...]

Angel Face Cocktail

1/3 Apricot Brandy. (3/4 oz Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot liqueur)
1/3 Calvados. (3/4 oz AppleJack or Calvados)
Shake (stir please! ~Erik) well and strain into cocktail glass.
Gonna be a pretty different cocktail, depending on which apple spirit you choose. The Laird’s Bonded AppleJack is pretty [...]
