Review

Elderflower and apple brandy sit harmoniously in this punchy spritz. For a slightly sweeter version substitute prosecco in place of the brut sparkling wine.

A nice alternative from an Aperol spritz. The St Germain makes it sweet so definitely use a Brut instead of a Prosecco unless you like sweet. The calvados I have is Daron which is hard to find in No California but very nice. In fact I had to explain what Calvados was to the clerk, happy to spread the word!
