Please read the article about the closing of the Hemmingway Bar in Paris via the link.

Created by Colin Field in 1982, this drink is "France in a glass," as it uses locally sourced ingredients. The cocktail was invented for the former head of a French TV channel and, over the years, has become the Hemingway Bar's most popular drink, making up around a third of the orders each night.

Ingredients

• 1 mint sprig
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2/3 ounce Calvados
• 1 3/4 ounces apple juice
• Champagne (to top)
