Apple Sour

Here’s to another Friday… and another cocktail. Perhaps this one is a bit out of season here in winter, but I find it worth sharing. Finding a cocktail that uses calvados was a treat. Just in case you don’t know, calvados is an apple brandy from Normandy. It is delicious… oh and dangerous (at least to me!) So with the end of another work week, let’s start the weekend by enjoying our new Friday night tipple – the apple sour!
