1 1⁄4 oz Old Tom Gin
1⁄2 oz Calvados
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 bsp Herbal liqueur, Yellow Chartreuse
1 sli Lemon peel
Instructions

Shake, double strain, chilled coupe. Express lemon peel high above the glass, rub the stem and underside of the bowl of the glass, and garnish

Notes

I prefer to use Hayman's to keep the color of the drink on the lighter side

History

I like the fleeting and ephemeral flavor of this cocktail. Slightly herbal, fruit forward, with an interesting intermix between the sweet gin and calvados
