La Frangipane

Pre-chill a cocktail coupe to ensure your drink is served at the perfect temperature.

Prepare a coin-sized twist of orange zest for garnishing.

In a shaker, combine Calvados or your preferred apple brandy, Monin Almond (Orgeat) Syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a dash of Angostura Orange Bitters.

Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously to blend and chill the ingredients.

Fine strain the mixture into the pre-chilled cocktail coupe.

Express the orange zest twist over the cocktail to release its aromatic oils, then place it as a garnish on top of the drink.
