Country Gentleman

Calvados meets orange curaçao with small lemon and sugar-syrup measures in this apple-brandy sour. The restrained juice quantity gives it a different structure from a long citrus drink, with lemon peel finishing the coupe.

Active preparation: 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 45 ml Calvados
• 22.5 ml Dry orange curaçao liqueur
• 7.5 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 5 ml Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water by weight)
• 1 piece Lemon peel, for garnish

Instructions

1. Measure Calvados, orange curaçao, lemon juice and simple syrup into a shaker and add cubed ice.
2. Seal the shaker and shake briskly until thoroughly cold, about 10–12 seconds.
3. Fine-strain into a chilled coupe without ice.
4. Express the lemon peel over the surface and add it.
