Very nice cocktail to showcase Calvados. I feel calvados is under appreciated. Recommend.

I'm new to Calvados. Which one do you like to use in cocktails?

Very smooth and well balanced. The apple and lemon blend well. A great use for our spare egg whites.

this is decent

More complex than its bourbon namesake and without the tartness of the lemon/alcohol combo thanks to the apple that would make this cocktail seem soft. Very treacherous and very good!

I dialed back the sugar and should have followed Simon. Great cocktail and the egg white really smooths out the lemon bite. Having the apple flavor in a sour is perfect for fall cocktail.

Terrific! Using Daron calvados and Demerara syrup, the apple flavor was deliciously present. So interesting that apple and lemon would work so well together. Prefer it to a whiskey sour!
