FACT: CALVADOS IS NOT MADE WITH APPLES ALONE While many people refer to it as an apple brandy, pears are also allowed in Calvados. The Northern part of Calvados, particularly the appellation Pays d'Auge, has a softer soil more conducive to the shallow roots of apple trees. Nearly all Calvados from the Pays d'Auge is made with apples alone. In contrast, the southern appellation of Calvados, the Domfrontais, has clay and limestone soil much more suited to the strong, deep roots of pear trees.

Fred Jerbis Gin-tini, Friuli, Italy (200ml)
Grab n go undiluted cocktails from Fred Jerbis. Years ago forager and herbalist Fred Cremasco found a recipe book from the late 1800s, which contained dozens of recipes for vermouth, amaros, bitters and other kinds of natural, medicinal concoctions. A Friuli native, he was inspired to set out to recreate these recipes of old. To do so, Cremasco grows all kinds of botanicals, and either purchases or forages wild ones from a local national preserve, which the government allows him to do on a special basis. His gin is botanically-focused, with emphasis on bark and herbal notes with juniper in a supporting role, and he made an extra dry vermouth especially for this Gin Martini.
