Le Trou Normand Moderne

Le Trou Normand - Original:

It is certain that the first time a palate was cleansed with a young Calvados eau de vie, it happened during a meal consumed near to the still during distillation season. With this small sip in whatever glass was available, a tradition was born.

This version of Le Trou Normand should be served in a small, elegant, wide brimmed cordial glass or something similar.

  • 1 to 1.5 oz. Claque-Pepin Calvados Fine

  • 1-2 small balls of apple or pear sorbet

  • 1 mint leaf
