When making this with Avallen Calvados, I ended up adding 2.5 ml of 2:1 sugar syrup and that seemed to bring a better balance, for me. Makes sense considering Avallen has zero added sugar as opposed to a traditional calvados like Bergeron would have used when creating this cocktail back in 1972.

Same here.
A few drops of sugar changed it from "okay" to "really nice".
Maybe it's totally different with Apple Jack, but with Calvados - this is my way.

With this drink i totally left my of my comfort zone.

I was happy to find a recipe with grappa again. Otherwise... as I said... outside my comfort zone.

But! - After significantly increasing the amount of grappa, I have to say "very interesting – in a good way."
