Strength & taste guide:


Review:

The classic recipe omits the sugar syrup, which makes this drink too sour for my taste. Duly sweetened, it is very much in the Sidecar or even Apple Cart vein.

Adapted from a recipe in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.

DEAUVILLE COCKTAIL.
¼ Brandy.
¼ Calvados.
¼ Cointreau.
¼ Lemon juice.
Shake well and strain into chilled glass.

Harry Craddock, 1930
