The recipe calls for an orange zest twist, but I think that might be a mistake? It looks like there's a lemon zest twist in the photo, and I think that makes sense given the lemon juice?

Aside from that, this was very tasty with Avallen Calvados and Ferrand Dry Curacao. I expected the Calvados to get a little lost in the mix, but it was fairly pronounced, with the other ingredients still noticeably contributing to the whole ensemble. The word "fresh" came to mind while drinking it.
