Pear Delight

PEAR DELIGHT
I can't even think of new names anymore :D

Hey everyone! A few days back I ended up making a cocktail with some wintery-notes in it! I introduce you the Pear Delight. As some might know, soon after creating this drink I realized how silly I've been, using the same "delight" suffix in an earlier cocktail back in the summer! But that got me thinking (finally). Back then I used Absolut's flavored vodka, this time I used one also so I might as well call any cocktail with Absolut's [insert flavor here] a "X Delight" :D :D

So what's this drink all about? Winter. Apples, pears, cinnamon and love:

• 2 cl Absolut Pears
• 2 cl Xanté
• 1 cl cinnamon syrup
• 4 cl premium apple juice
• 1 star anise, burned

I managed to get a hold on to some organic apple & pear juice, which in my opinion would well enhance the flavor profile of this cocktail. It cost me a small fortune but what the heck!

Shake everything except the star anise in a shaker, strain into a chilled coupe. Take a star anise and burn it with a torch for a few seconds, smother the flame and drop it on the drink.

This cocktail was smooth in texture, full-bodied and tasted great with that hint of liquorice coming from the garnish. Of course using a clear apple juice will result in a clear(er) drink, but I recommend any high quality apple juice for this one
