Ingredients
- 2 fl oz calvados (or other apple brandy)
- 1 fl oz lemon juice
- ½ fl oz simple syrup
- ½ fl oz egg white (optional)
- 2 drops bitters either aromatic or orange, optional
To serve
- a few paper-thin slices of apple (optional) and ice
Instructions
- If serving with apple slices in glass, cut a few paper-thin slices of apple and lightly brush them with the cut edge of a lemon to help stop them browning. Place the slices around the side of a glass (they should stick a little but if not, add ice to the glass at this point to help them stay in place.
- Add calvados, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white to a cocktail shaker. If using bitters, you can either add them here or simple use to top the drink. Add plenty of crushed ice and shake well then strain into the glass - I suggest over ice but can also serve as-is.
Notes
I'd suggest using a rocks glass for this but you can use other styles, as you prefer.
If you are using egg white, don't worry if the mixture might look like it is curdling before you shake it, it will come together once shaken.
