RECIPE | Spiced Pear Cocktail

Spiced Pear Vanilla.jpg

Inspired by the flavors of the season, I love pairing pears and vanilla, with a little warm spice from the nutmeg. Pears lend them self nicely to a lot of alcohols, so swap it out with your favorite. I chose gin because I like that underlying botanical note. They also pair with spice : cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom. The finished drink tastes well rounded, not too sweet with that hint of autumn spice and makes for a palette satisfying cocktail!
