The Big Apple

This cocktail combines sliced apples, sparkling wine, Calvados, and sparkling apple cider. Fizzy and slightly sweet, it’s a delicious way to kick of a fall dinner party or Thanksgiving dinner.
(Serves about 6 people)

1 bottle sparkling wine
6 Tbsp. Calvados
1 apple, sliced into thin ½-inch long pieces
1 small bottle sparkling apple cider

Using a spoon, place the apple slices into six Champagne or wine glasses; aim for an equal amount of apples in each glass. Pour 1 Tbsp. Calvados into each glass. Add the sparkling wine, pouring slowly, then refilling so each glass is about halfway full. Top off each glass with a splash of sparkling cider. Use a small spoon to stir each drink. Serve immediately, while the wine is still bubbly.
