Honeymoon cocktail recipe

 

Prologue

 Hello, this is Holden! Where is your honeymoon destination you would like to go to? When I worked for a while at a travel agency to sell products, it was narrowed down to three major locations! First, Southeast Asia is close and comfortable. I mainly use Thailand or Bali. Second, it is Hawaii, the classic honeymoon. Shopping, sights and food are all satisfied. Third, it is a special place. Cancun, Mauritius, Maldives, Spain, and Italy. Today, I would like to introduce you to the'Honeymoon Cocktail' that will lift your mood in such a beautiful place. Let's go!

 It's a great cocktail if you want to enjoy a romantic atmosphere with a sweet and clean taste. The scented brandy has a delicate triple sec flavor. Apple brandy Calvados, used as a base, is a distilled spirit of apples, a specialty of the Normandy region of France. For reference, as you can see from the appendix below, both Apple Brandy and Benedictine are expensive liquors. If it's not on a honeymoon, you rarely have a chance to taste it! And one tip! If you are ordering a'honeymoon cocktail', be sure to tell us in advance. "Calvados, not regular brandy" The bartender's eyes will change when he sees you!

 

6. Tips

■ Benedictine D.O.M is a liqueur in the shape of a cathedral. It's so pretty, it arouses the desire to collect.

 

■ Memorize 'Apple Brandy = Calvados' as a formula. The word 'CALVADOS' is on the label. If you don't have Apple brandy, you can use regular brandy. All you need to do is pick up the bottles that say'X.O', 'V.S.O.P', 'Exta' and 'NAPOLEON'.
