Holiday season cocktails

5 cocktails to try for your holiday season :

1. Appletini

Ingredi­ents :
· 40 ml Calvados VS
· 30 ml apple juice
· 20 ml lemon juice
· (and 10 ml simple syrup, if needed)

A simple and eleg­ant cock­tail. Each sip reveals a per­fect har­mony between the tart­ness of the lemon, the fresh­ness of the apple juice, and the rich, soph­ist­ic­ated notes of the Calvados. Designed as a short drink, you can still lengthen your Applet­ini with a little more apple juice if the recipe feels too strong.
Non-car­bon­ated, this cock­tail is ideal for a fest­ive even­ing: it can be pre­pared in advance without losing its bal­ance or freshness.

2. Spritz normand

Ingredi­ents :
· 30 ml Calvados VS
· 30 ml Aperol
· 100 ml Dom­front Pear Cider (Poiré)
· 1 or 2 orange slices

The Norman Spritz rein­vents the clas­sic spritz with a dis­tinctly norman twist. Calvados provides struc­ture to the cock­tail, Aperol adds a touch of bit­ter­ness, while the pear cider brings fresh­ness and sparkle. The base can be pre­pared in advance and kept chilled; simply add the pear cider at the time of serving to pre­serve the bubbles. The Norman Spritz has now become a must on the coast!

3. Pom’doz

Ingredi­ents :
· 30 ml Calvados VS
· 20 ml Pom­meau de Normandie
· 60 ml apple juice
· 1 dash of grenadine

Here, Calvados is paired with its little broth­er, Pom­meau de Nor­man­die, which brings round­ness and a touch of sweet­ness to the cock­tail. An almost entirely apple-based mix, with a dash of gren­ad­ine to enhance the fla­vors and give the Pom’Doz its sig­na­ture orange hue. Like the Applet­ini, it can be pre­pared in advance and served in a punch cup, making it per­fect for a fest­ive occa­sion, such as New Year’s Eve.

4. Apple mojito

Ingredi­ents :
· 40 ml Calvados
· ½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
· 10 ml cane syrup
· 8 mint leaves
· 80 ml ginger ale

The clas­sic mojito has run its course, and its spark is dim­ming… this twist brings it back to life! With richer fla­vors thanks to Calvados and ginger soda, the Apple Mojito is refresh­ing and easy to enjoy on a summer ter­race, yet it also fits per­fectly into your hol­i­day season celebrations.

5. Calvaspresso

Ingredi­ents :
· 40 ml Calvados VSOP
· 40 ml extra dry coffee liqueur
· 40 ml espresso coffee

Three ingredi­ents, a shaker, and you’re ready to go! The Cal­vas­presso is the per­fect cock­tail to eleg­antly close a fest­ive meal. This refined drink con­tin­ues the his­tor­ic pair­ing of coffee and Calvados.

Cheers !
