Since I did not have Pear eau de vie, I used 1 .5 oz McClintock's Spiced Pear Liqueur and 1/4 oz rich simple syrup (2:1) in order to approximate the original recipe. Pear, Lemon and Orange meld very well with the Hefeweizen to form a balanced cocktail. I used Paulaner Hefeweizen. The spice from the McClintock's is welcome, but possibly not intended in the recipe as written.
