History

This started out as a twist on the Third Rail #2, but after adding and removing all but the calvados I ended up with a drink with a more French minded flair. It has a sweet richness and yet an acid-enough edge that I ignored the "don't touch the third rail" warning

For lack of ingredients, made this with Plymouth Navy Strength Gin, Lemorton Reserve Calvados, Pink House Alchemy grapefruit bitters. A very solid gin sour with a floral fruity note. If you don't like the sourness, a little bit of wildflower honey syrup would only improve the taste.
