That’s the only real problem with the book – great cocktails, but half of them have some extra-bizarre ingredients that you’d never just have lying around.

Now I have a liquor cabinet full of Lillet and Dubonnet and pastis and a variety of other odd things, and I still find that I can’t make about a quarter of the recipes in there.

I was getting more and more excited reading that ingredient list. We kept missing one ingredient from each, though. Time to stock the bar! I need a Communist, stat!

Calvados also turns out to be pretty great with ginger and tonic or soda.

Or, y’know, on its own in a fragile and gorgeous snifter.

Mmmmm… Now I have a better use for that calvados I brought back from Paris.

Thanks!
