Added Pear Schnapps to make it an apple & pear sour…sort of.

I have been a Calvados fan since spending time in Normandy where its quite the back roads distillery tradition. A nice twist on this recipe is to cross it with a bourbon old fashions by adjusting this recipe to use half bourbon and half calvados. They go together surprising well.

Love sipping Calvados neat after a meal, but I needed a cocktail for pre-dinner, and all I had was Calvados. Thankfully I found this recipe and I already had lemons and limes and sugar. Done! Delicious apertif!!

A revelation! Transcends the corporeal drudgery of my mortal toil. It tastes very good.

This is the best use of calvados I've found
