Review

Chris originally garnished this Calvados Sidecar/Applecart-like cocktail with brandied cherries, but Strega's excellent chocolates seemed a far more fitting accoutrement for our photograph.

A perfectly balanced sour with lovely complexity. Liquore Strega seems to have gone out of fashion...we wonder why.

This was great. It was not too sweet, but I think I could put just a hint more lemon for my taste. Had a great all-around flavour. Will do again.
