Fallen Leaves

The Fallen Leaves Cocktail

3/4 oz calvados
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
1/4 oz dry vermouth
Dash brandy
Squeeze lemon peel

Recipe from The Essential Bartender Guide by Robert Hess.

First time drinking calvados, an apple brandy from France. Interesting drink, could have really benefited from some freshly opened vermouth (mine is getting a bit musty and old). I felt in the end the drink was wanting a bit more sweetness.
