this is dangerously too easily drinkable, considering the alcohol content...

What a combination Calvados and Pisco turned out to be! I never had any doubts about St Germain and the wine, they were bound to play together, but never knew that Calvados and Pisco could play so well together.

Overall it's a great cocktail. Slightly sweet in the beginning which then dries up nicely on the end. The elderflower is clearly going to be a top note but every single ingredient gets to come out and make itself known.

Swapped out calvados for bourbon and white wine for rosé (that's what we had in / open) and added a maraschino cherry (because I'd just received my shiny new Birdy tongs, what a joy they are) and it still made a lovely refreshing early evening drink!

Amazing, delicious, refreshing.
I used a 12 yr old Calvados Pays D'Auge and an Austrian natural white wine wabi-sabi white solera

Well, it started okay. 30ml Wine, 30ml St. Germain, 30ml Calvados. Oops. I guess I’ll do 30ml of Pisco too. I only had Quebranta on hand. Used my last bit of wine to make this so no do overs. This drink is wonderful at equal parts! Can we please normalize white wine and Pisco cocktails?

This was wonderful and smooth. Did back off the St-Germain a little to make it a bit more dry. Perfect for an early evening cocktail.

I added a generous squeeze (~1/3 oz-ish) lemon juice and a single grate of lemon rind in place of the lime twist for some brightness as mine was a bit 'heavy' despite the dryness of the calvados, but that could have been due to my brand of liquors. Very sippable. Can see the shake being beneficial (I shook!)
