History:
Adapted from a recipe created by Mayur Subbarao of New York, USA. Mayur's original recipe called for bottled-in-bond applejack rather than calvados. The extra punch of applejack dries this cocktail so if using calvados consider reducing the sugar syrup.
Review:
Who'd have thought cachaça and apple brandy would make such good bedfellows with herbal liqueur and Creole-style bitters.
