Used a sweeter Calvados (Chateau de Breuil Fine) and it was quite good, if a bit sweet. Should just reduce the syrup to around 7.5. I will say that I used 45ml Calvados and 15 Rye to make it make more sense from an ABV perspective.

The Avallen Calvados takes the Sazerac to the next level - delicious!

Not liking anything sweet, omitted the sugar syrup. Great evening sipper.

Just splitted the syrup, adding a bsp of maple syrup to bsp of 2:1 cinnamon syrup. It opened the Calvados really well. For garnish used a gold pear fan. It was amazing.

Take 2. Re-reading this as a calvados drink rather than a Sazerac gives a fresh perspective. Much better.

Didn't work for me; too many distinctive flavours fighting for space.

Very nice. The Avallen calvados is gorgeous. Its apple flavour stands out. I prefer this recipe without the sugar syrup.

If you like apple brandy and also oike sazeracs, this one is a slam dunk.
Made with Laird’s as well as with a Calvados. Laird’s wins hands down.
