With a robust apple flavour, calvados renders itself wonderfully to lots of diverse foods, making it a very easy drink to pair with different kinds of culinary repasts.
One of the best pairings with calvados is blue lobsters or scallops. You can cook them in herbs like parsley to then be served alongside a refreshing glass of calvados for a sweet and sour combination.
Another seafood delight that goes well with calvados is salmon. You can grill this fish following the classic recipe and serve it with apple and mustard sauce.
Cheese and liquor is a match made in heaven. This holds true for calvados too, which can be paired perfectly with soft cheeses like brie and camembert that really melt in your mouth.
When serving calvados cocktails with mains, you can go for chicken normandy, a dish that is cooked in a helping of apple and cream sauce. Instead of overpowering the liquor’s flavours, the sauce in fact brings the whole meal together in a harmonious blend.
Meticulously craft a charcuterie board the next time you are hosting an intimate dinner party. This board exudes elegance and sophistication and when served with the right spirit, it actually manages to highlight the flavour components of the liquor.
A tarte tatin made from the finest apples would then undoubtedly pair well with calvados that brings out the aromas and flavours of fermented perry pears.
