Apple Brandy Sour

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Select and pre-chill an Old Fashioned glass.

Prepare a garnish by creating a lemon zest twist and a skewered lemon slice wheel with a Luxardo Maraschino cherry.

Shake the Calvados or apple brandy, freshly squeezed lemon juice, rich sugar syrup, egg white or alternative, and Angostura Aromatic Bitters with ice.

Strain the mixture back into the shaker.

Dry shake the ingredients without ice to emulsify.

Fine strain the cocktail into the pre-chilled Old Fashioned glass filled with ice.

Express the lemon zest twist over the drink to release its oils, then discard the twist.

Garnish the cocktail with the skewered lemon slice wheel and maraschino cherry.
