It's Paloma's birthday and World Paloma Day, which both fall on this day, incredibly apt as it's also International Day of Peace.

Review:

Who'd have thought cachaça and apple brandy would make such good bedfellows with herbal liqueur and Creole-style bitters.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created by Mayur Subbarao of New York, USA. Mayur's original recipe called for bottled-in-bond applejack rather than calvados. The extra punch of applejack dries this cocktail so if using calvados consider reducing the sugar syrup.
