History

Spirituous apple and rich elderflower are complemented by herbal dry vermouth and gentian complexity, with a whisper of anise from absinthe.

This recipe was adapted in 2017 from a cocktail created by Mauricio Barbosa at Tuju in São Paulo, Brazil. Mauricio's original recipe included 50ml Calvados, 20ml Noilly Prat, 15ml St-Germain, 5ml homemade gentian liqueur, and 5 drops of absinthe bitters.
