Comments

Haus Alpenz has a variation of this calling for Dopo Teatro in place of Punt e Mes. I did not have the Pear Eau-de-vie specified, but I did have some Schladerer Kirschwasser which is often too dry and too assertive with a cherry pit distillate essence. I expected the result to be something mediocre, but the combination of Dopo Teatro, kirschwasser and R&W Apricot liqueur made for an excellent flavor trio. A complex and satisfying sipper.
