Surprised at the relatively low average DD rating here (3 when writing). We found this a delicious French 75-style cocktail: the very slight hint of sweetness from the Triple Sec complements the Calvados' apple wonderfully.

Great for afternoon sipping. Substituted dry curacao as I find triple sec a little sweet. Wonderfully dry. Will have again.
