Review:
Given the name, don't expect a sweet 'fruity' cocktail, instead, this is dry, spicy and complex with zesty citrus over an appley spirituous base with enlivening ginger spice.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2012 by Aisha Sharpe in New York City, USA. The original recipe was based on bonded applejack rather than calvados and was more or less:
45ml Bottled-in-bond applejack
30ml Pimm's No. 1
15ml Lemon juice
7.5 Sugar syrup (1:1)
2 dashes Angostura Aromatic bitters
2 dash Peychaud's bitters
45ml Ginger beer
