The result is a harmonious blend of fruity and sour notes. The cocktail is characterized by its refreshing nature and is well-suited as an aperitif or a digestif after a meal. It is especially popular during the warmer months or at festive occasions. The Calvados Sour offers a wonderful way to enjoy the fruity and aromatic character of Calvados. With the addition of lemon juice and possibly a bit of simple syrup, the cocktail becomes balanced and pleasing in taste.
