Apple Blossom Cocktail
Concentrated lightly herbal apple with subtle zesty citrus. Quick to make and stupidly simple yet delicious

I have used the Avallen calvados which has this gorgeous apple flavour and reduced the amount of Antica Formula to 20ml. Partner felt it was well balanced this way. Served cocktail in Nick & Nora.

Good observation, Mike. I've now added links between the Apple Blossom and Bentley cocktails.

Went with a 2:1 Calvados to Vermouth (Cocchi) ratio. I really liked that ratio. As stated, a simple cocktail to make yet nice, complex flavors.
Second one, I added 1/4 oz / 7.5 ml Allspice (Pimento) dram just for fun. Added a bit more depth to it.

Loving this! This is my Manhattan alternative when I want something crisp, apple, cold, and autumnal. Next time I’m adding a few more dashes of orange bitters. A fresh, thin, apple slice for looks and aromatics was a nice touch.

Simple to make but complex in flavor. I found the apple notes pleasantly became more prominent over time as the cocktail warmed.

Very rich and fruity, I enjoy the 1:1 ratio but understand why people would want to tone down the vermouth.

Very nice flavor for such a simple cocktail! Like others, I would like to play with the ratio, but maybe not all the way to a 3:1 or even 2:1. Maybe a 60:40 ml ratio.

Great and simple recipe! My version was calvados 1.0, red vermouth 0.5, and 2 dashes of orange bitters. Use the best calvados available in my case Daron Fine.
