A fruity late-night cocktail to sip and contemplate. Drinking beer locally brewed from locally grown malt and hops is a very sustainable way to drink. Due to their use of ice and ingredients sourced from much further afield, cocktails are not. However, while beer is a daily staple, cocktails are a special celebratory and luxurious treat.

I’ve just made this with Calvados instead of cognac (because I don’t have any cognac at the moment, but I do have a lot of freshly picked blackberries) - apple and blackberry is a classic combination and I’d definitely recommend it here, although it doesn’t fit as well with the name!
