Thiscocktail from author and former Gramercy Tavern managing partner Nick Mautone is made with pear eau de vie, a side of pear, and a touch of bubbly.

What to buy: Choose a pear eau de vie that’s rich and a little sweet rather than one that’s sharp like a grappa. We like Belle de Brillet, from France.

Game plan: You can prepare the pears up to 8 hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator.

by Nick Mautone

Instructions
