Fallen Leaves
Suitably autumnal in colour. Two vermouths and two brandies presented in harmony

I followed the recipe closely except for using a fine Calvados in place of Avallen. Found it very herby and lacking centre. 5ml maple syrup brought the vermouths together with the Calvados very nicely. Maybe I have a slightly sweet tooth!

Maybe use a fuller bodied vermouth, eg half-half your regular vermouth with carpano.
