  • Beautiful drink and a a nice use of pear eau-de-vie. I also made this with a quince (coing) e-d-v which was astringent but delicious. Probably better, in fact.

Comments

I used J pear liqueur (60 proof) and not true eau de vie. Quite tasty, indeed; the maraschino didn't have a chance to dominate. Powerful sweet. The only real drawback I can see is the risk of diabetes. 4/5.

Dan commented on 4/02/2012:

Yes, I would not substitute Pear Liqueur without re-designing the drink. It would be way too sweet for the amount of acid, and would overpower the other flavors, since Pear Eau-de-vie was a much more subtle flavor.

Tucker commented on 3/28/2015:

Not bad but the maraschino dominated some for us and as such the ginger and lemon juice were a little lost. Would probably tweak the ratios a bit. Beautiful color. 

Used closer to 1/4 Maraschino (Luxardo), with Pear Williams Purkhart Eau-de-Vie, and Canton for the ginger. the look is a bit like pink lemonade; the flavor is soft floral and fruity. I think a few extra dashes of Peychaud's only help make this drink better.
