Cocktails with Calvados
Description
Calvados is an apple (and sometimes pear) brandy from Normandy, France. Its history stretches back centuries, with strict AOC regulations ensuring authenticity. Often aged in oak, it develops complex flavors from orchard fruit to spice. It has long been used both as a sipping spirit and in cuisine.
Taste
Fruity, apple-forward, woody, lightly spiced.
Usage
Excellent in brandy cocktails, sours, or with cider-based drinks. Can also substitute for cognac in classics for a fruitier twist.
