History

Adapted from a recipe created in February 2023 by Kaitlin Wilkes for Avallen calvados. Kaitlin's original recipe calls for sparkling dry cider buti've substituted this for brut sparkling wine.

Review

A calvados-based rhubarb and vanilla sour. The rhubarb and vanilla seem to amplify the flavour of the calvados rather than playing a distinctive role themselves.
