The Normandy, as it's called, has cool weather written all over it, with ingredients like cranberries, green apples, and Calvados, a type of French apple brandy from — you guessed it — Normandy.

Ingredients

• 9 fresh cranberries
• 2 thin slices green apple
• 1 teaspoon packed dark brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon simple syrup
• 1/4 cup good-quality Calvados
• Ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1

In a cocktail shaker, muddle 6 cranberries, 1 apple slice, the brown sugar and lemon juice.
