Serve this to your guests and ask them to guess what’s in it! Only two ingredients (plus bitters) ?!?

One old favourite (Calvados) meets a new one. Given it’s high summer right now, perhaps not so seasonally appropriate, but solstice has passed so what the hey. Joining my other autumnal-year round favourites the Fall Back and the Fallen Leaves, both available at a diffords guide webpage near you 😉. This is the lightest bodied of the three.

I preferred this when not ‘too’ chilled - some warmth allowing the aromatics to express themselves to the ol’ olfactory bulb.

Noticed that this is not a million miles from the classic Star cocktail, perhaps ultimately inspired by it?

I made it with 45ml Avallen 22ml vermut and 22 Tempus Fugit & angostura- fabulous

Wow, what a wonderful, complex flavored cocktail, yet simple to make. The Calvados and the Amaro just blend amazingly well. Outstanding.

Drank this to toast the life of our beautiful dog Eva who we had to let go on 19th Oct.

Sorry for your loss Jo, ❤️

This looks lovely. I wonder how it would work with Averna instead of Cardamaro. Only one way to find out!

Cocchi Vermouth Amaro would be a closer substitution for Cardamaro as another vermouth amaro.
