I like it. I'll make it again but might tweak it... Feels like its missing just a touch of something. I will freely admint that I do not have irish whisky instock so I subbed in a 50/50 burbon/rye mix.

Might try bitters? a touch of lemon?

  • Crisp and refreshing and clean. The taste of pear is strong with this one. Not a lot of character but solid. Nice to have a cocktail that taste like pear eau de vie.
  • St. George Terroir Gin Tasty buy lacking in oomph - the sum was not greater than the parts. — ★★★
