📜 History

This cocktail celebrates the happy accident of combining three distinctly French spirits: Cognac from the wine regions, Calvados from Normandy's apple orchards, and Chartreuse from the alpine monasteries. Each brings unique character—grape brandy depth, apple brightness, and monastic herbal mystery—creating layers of flavor that reveal themselves with each sip.
