Thad Vogler, an owner of two San Francisco restaurant-bars, is a big believer in simplicity in cocktails, keeping the number of ingredients to a minimum. The Whist, drawn from “The Savoy Cocktail Book,” which was published in 1930, fits that profile. If the recipe is simple, the rewards are complex, owing to the variegated nuances found in all three liquors. It also shows how a little Calvados can go a long way in terms of flavor. Take this drink toward the end of your evening, as it is potent.
