Fallen Leaves

Name: Fallen Leaves
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 0.75 oz Rosso Vermouth; 0.25 oz Dry Vermouth; 0.75 oz Calvados; 1 dash Brandy

A lightly sweet, apple-forward stirred cocktail where Calvados brings warm orchard fruit and subtle spice while rosso vermouth adds herbal, caramelized notes and body; a hint of dry vermouth keeps it balanced. It pours a deep amber hue into a chilled cocktail glass and finishes smooth and boozy with a bright lemon-twist aroma. Worth trying if you enjoy nuanced, fall-leaning drinks that pair fortified aromatics with fruit brandy.
