Smoked Pear Cocktail
Season’s Delight
Inspired by fall’s flavors during the holidays, it is the perfect drink to enjoy as you warm yourself in front of a welcoming fire with friends and family.
The mezcal provides a slight smokiness that pulls together the herbal notes of the Averna, as well as the spice of the pear liqueur. Lemon and egg white help give a light silkiness that rounds out this perfect fall cocktail.
