The Nutty Pear

The Nutty Pear

Our next cocktail in our Amaretto series is The Nutty Pear created by @diffordsguide. I've always been a huge fan of Calvados, so when I saw this recipe, I had to try it.

These flavors all play so well with each other. Just a wonderful mix of fall flavors and Pome fruits. Another strong reason why you should consider Amaretto as a staple of your home bar.

This drink was made using @oakcityamarettoco for the Amaretto and @calvadoschristiandrouin as the Calvados.

The Elements:

  • 1.5oz Calvados

  • .25oz Amaretto

  • 1oz Pear puree

  • 2oz Dry white sparkling wine

The How To:

  1. Create pear puree by coring and peeling 1 whole pear and blending until smooth.

  2. Add Calvados, Amaretto, and pear puree to shaker with ice. Shake until chilled.

  3. Strain into champagne flute. Top with sparkling wine.

  4. Garnish with pear slice.

    Enjoy!
