The crisp dry apple freshness that calvados brings to this fruity long drink makes it one of the best base spirits in a fruit cup.

It's fine, decently tasty. But doesn't hold a candle to the rye, moderately aged rum and gin versions for sure. I also used Avallen Calvados, the recommended Calvados on this site and I have a feeling it would only be worse with a more typical Calvados.
