From other users
- Terrific pear flavor.
- A bit too sour and pear got lost so I upped the eau de vie to 1 1/2 ish. I guess similar effect would be to lower lemon and cognac to 3/4 for less boozy variation. Still nice either way.
- Used Hudson Valley small batch pear brandy. I felt it needed just a little extra lemon juice to brighten it up

Made with St George Pear
Submitted by abenc85 on
Made with St George Pear Brandy, Pierre Ferrand 1840 and Combier Triple Sec. Divine. Like rich pear drops with a satisfying alcoholic warmth that lingers. Perfect accentuation of a beautiful pear note.
Used Raynal VSOP brandy

Used Raynal VSOP brandy instead of cognac, and Hudson Valley small batch distilled pear brandy (80proof). I felt it benefited from 1.5 oz lemon juice to brighten it up a bit.
