calvados cocktail Waaaahhhooo! Its Friday!!

And that can only mean another Happy Hour Cocktail; my fave hour of the week. Following my review of Calvados by Henrik Matsson earlier in the week I thought I would take two recipes from the cocktail chapter. "Two Cocktails today, Andrew?" I hear you question. Yes indeed, as one is just never enough. Actually, lets make it three!
