How to Prepare:
Ingredients:
- 1.5oz 1800 Reposado Tequila
- 0.5oz St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur
- 0.5oz Lillet Blanc
- 0.25oz Fire Cider (adjust to taste)
- Juice of half a lime
- Raw sugar
- Smoked paprika
- 1 slice of ripe pear
- Ice cubes
Instructions:
- Begin by preparing the pear slice garnish. Sprinkle a thin layer of raw sugar on top of the pear slice. Use a kitchen torch to gently brulee the sugar on the pear until it caramelizes and forms a golden-brown crust. Set aside.
- On a small plate, mix together a small amount of raw sugar and a pinch of smoked paprika. Wet the rim of a rocks glass with a lime wedge, then gently press the wet rim into the sugar and paprika mixture to coat the rim. Set the glass aside.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the 1800 Reposado Tequila, St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur, Lillet Blanc, Fire Cider, and fresh lime juice.
- Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, allowing the ingredients to chill and blend.
- Fill the prepared rocks glass with ice cubes.
- Strain the cocktail mixture from the shaker into the rocks glass over the ice.
- Place the bruleed pear slice on the rim of the glass for a visually appealing garnish.
- Optionally, you can sprinkle a tiny pinch of smoked paprika on top of the cocktail for an extra touch of smokiness and color.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Spiced Pear Tequila Fizz!
Feel free to adjust the proportions of Fire Cider and lime juice according to your personal taste preferences. This cocktail offers a delightful balance of tequila’s richness, spiced pear notes, and a hint of tang from the Fire Cider, all complemented by the bruleed pear slice and smoked paprika rim for an exceptional sensory experience.
