Garnish: Exactly one very short narrow lemon zest twist

1. 01

   Pre-chill a clear coupe and cut exactly one very short narrow strip of fresh lemon zest.

2. 02

   Measure the Calvados, triple sec, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and rich simple syrup into a shaker.

3. 03

   Add the optional chilled water only when using unusually dry ice, then fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid cold ice.

4. 04

   Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the apple-led sour is thoroughly chilled, aerated, and properly diluted.

5. 05

   Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no citrus pulp or small ice fragments enter the drink.

6. 06

   Express the lemon oils over the surface, retain exactly the compact twist at the rim, and serve without another garnish.
