  • Equal parts of Calvados and Rye. More mint.
  • Used Laird's Applejack (1.25 oz) and Sazerac rye (1.25). Also 13 mint leaves. Great drink. Rate 5.0
  • Would like to try this and a version subbing peach brandy.

These (along with Wondrich's Prescription Julep) were HUGE hits and the Derby part last weekend.
