Chef's Notes
- The quality of your Calvados will significantly impact the final flavor. Opt for a VSOP or XO for a smoother, more complex apple profile.
- Ensure both the Calvados and tonic water are well-chilled before mixing to maintain carbonation and prevent dilution.
- Resist the urge to stir vigorously, as this can dissipate the tonic's effervescence. A gentle lift with a bar spoon is sufficient.
- While traditionally served without garnish, a thin apple slice or a twist of lemon peel can add an aromatic dimension if desired.
