ABOUT
This cocktail was created by Adam Wild (@drinksbywild) and is a riff on a Mai Tai. The name for this drink is French for “the best,” which is a nod to Mai Tai translating to something similar in Tahitian. Here rum is swapped for the apple brandy Calvados, and lemon is used instead of lime, which pairs perfectly with the apples. Cheers y’all!
