Normandy Coffee
Description
Normandy Coffee is a hot cocktail combining Calvados (apple brandy), a specialty of France's Normandy region, with coffee. The sweet aroma of apples harmonizes exquisitely with the bitterness of coffee, warming the body on cold days. The soft texture of whipped cream and the aroma of cinnamon add an even more luxurious flavor experience.
Origin
Country of Origin: France （1553年頃）
In the Normandy region, records of apple distilled spirits exist in documents from 1553, marking the beginning of Calvados history. Around the 13th century, mass production of cider became possible, and cider became common in Normandy instead of wine. Later, Calvados was born through fermentation and distillation of molasses, and hot cocktails combining it with coffee became popular.
