My favourite cocktail

Of all the many delicious drinks that my two doctor friends have mixed for me in their glorious cocktail laboratory of a kitchen, the one that really blew me away (I'd never before encountered it, and I believe it is something of a rarity these days, a 'forgotten classic'), the one that most made me crave another encounter with it, was.... The Avenue.

It's equal parts calvados, bourbon, and passion fruit juice, with a little splash of orange flower water and just a smidge of grenadine. Deceptively simple (er, if you can get the orange flower water and the passion fruit), but delightfully subtle and fruity.

Do try it.
