Think of this Pomme en Croute cocktail as a riff on the Brandy Crusta, a classic New Orleans drink recipe that dates back to the 1850s. The original Pomme recipe was dreamed up by bartender Chris Hannah at Arnaud’s French 75 a few years ago. (Oooooh….Arnaud’s….drool….) Coupling the Calvados (or other apple brandy) with Campari, lemon and orange juice, this drink is a delicious combination of sweet (from the sugar rim) and tart (from the drink). If you like Old Fashioneds, you’ll love this.
