Comments

Good use of the pear, which comes through in the right amount. I did not like the contribution of the curacao as much, which gave the drink a "Smarties" taste. Overall it's an extremely fruity cocktail. Not bad, but also just forgettable.

I've always thought that the PF Curacao tasted like baby aspirin. Thanks, Zachary
