SPICED PEAR OLD-FASHIONED
If you can’t find cardamom bitters, you can use orange or Angostura bitters instead and add a pinch of ground cardamom.
Ingredients
- ¼ pear chopped, plus 1 wedge for garnish
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary plus 1 sprig for garnish
- 1 lemon twist
- 1 tsp. pure maple syrup
- 3 dashes cardamom bitters
- 1½ oz. bourbon
- ½ oz. ginger liqueur such as Big O or Domaine de Canton
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 very large ice cube
- 3 oz. club soda chilled
Instructions
- Muddle chopped pear, one rosemary sprig, the lemon twist, maple syrup, and bitters in a cocktail shaker with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon until pear is liquified. Add bourbon, ginger liqueur, and 1 cup ice to the cocktail shaker. Cover and shake until well chilled.
- Double-strain into a rocks glass over the large ice cube. [To double-strain, set a small fine sieve over the glass. Strain the rink through the cocktail shaker top and the sieve to catch any large pieces of pulp or rosemary.] Top with club soda. Garnish with pear wedge and rosemary. armagazine.com/spiced-pear-old-fashioned
