Pear Tree Cocktail
Pear brandy with lemon, gin and rosemary simple syrup – a cocktail that is both unique, and utterly evocative of the winter holidays!Ingredients:(for 2 drinks)
1 ounce Pear Brandy
1 ounce rosemary simple syrup
1 ounce lemon juice
3 ounces dry gin
Sugar–Salt (for rims)
Rosemary Simple Syrup
Salt the rims. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon cane sugar and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt evenly onto a small plate. Twirl the rim of a glass against the cut face of a lemon, and invert it onto the plate, making small circular motions until it’s well-coated. Repeat with the other glass.
Fill a shaker 2/3 full with ice, and give it a quick rinse to remove any freezer burn.
Add 1 ounce Pear Brandy, 1 ounce Rosemary Simple Syrup, 1-ounce lemon juice, and 3 ounces dry gin to the shaker – then shake vigorously (about 12 seconds) until well-chilled.
Strain into cocktail glasses, and top each drink with a tip of rosemary.
