Apples 'n' Pears

In cockney rhyming slang 'apples and pears' means 'stairs'. The flavours of the fruits also combine well, here fortified with calvados

Had forgotten what a lovely little cocktail this is. Perfect for a rare outdoors evening in early October, such as the one we just enjoyed today. No idea why it gets such a low "Discerning Drinkers" rating, as this remains a real go-to autumnal recipe for us!

Front lead in page from email shows "Aged rum" as an ingredient however, recipe shows vodka.

Thanks for flagging Florian. I amended recipe 20/Oct/21 to move calvados, the main ingredient, to the top and obviously made a hash of it. Now fixed. Thankfully, I keep notes.

I really, really like this. Just sweet enough, and a great aperitif. Great hint of apple and pear. Perfect for the autumn.
