Calvados lovers will enjoy sipping on a Cranachan cocktail. Made with French apple brandy and gin, this cocktail recipe is a twist on the Scottish Cranachan trifle - a boozy dessert made with whiskey. Perfect to serve year round, since it's a Scottish recipe, we particularly enjoy serving it for the Hogmanay, Burns Night, and any other Scottish event like the Highland Games.
