NORMANDIE
By César Debus, creator of the cocktail:
“To create this cocktail, I was inspired by a classic I love, the Manhattan. I kept the same structure, I just adapted it around the main element, Calvados. I wanted to highlight the Calvados by using flavours that go perfectly with the taste of the apple. For me, the nut and liquorice flavours are the perfect combination. I chose a young and lively Calvados, explosive, to counterbalance the liquorice and the bitterness of the walnut. The orange zest just expressed brings a citrus note, and a little freshness.”
