Calva-Quina
Here’s a nice little aperitif with multiple inspirations behind it. It’s an ode to the apple brandy highballs from The Savoy Cocktail Book, but also pays tribute to the Norman tradition of Calva-Tonic. We double up the quinine in this version, which gets its tannic baseline from rouge quinquina.
INGREDIENTS
1½ oz. Calvados
¾ oz. quinquina rouge
¼ oz. Swedish punsch
3-4 oz. good-quality tonic, to top
Orange slice, for garnish
ABV LEVEL
Pour Calvados, quinquina rouge, and Swedish punsch into a Collins glass. Fill with ice. Add tonic and garnish with an orange slice. Serve with a straw.
