Review

Some will debate if a cocktail without rum should carry the name Daiquiri but move past that and this cocktail tastes exactly as its name suggests.

I found this very one dimensional. While it was in the daiquiri style, it seemed to be missing something. The citrus seems to overshadow the apple flavour of the Calvados. Perhaps maybe some Apple Schnapps instead of the sugar syrup. It is OK, but not high on my list.
