This fresh, wintry cocktail works only if both the pear liqueur and the champagne are well chilled. If you like, rim the glass with citrus juice and dip in sugar.
MAKES 1 DRINK
1 oz [30 ml] pear eau de vie
4 to 5 oz [120 to 150 ml] champagne
1 frozen pear wedge or strip of pear, for garnish
Pour the pear eau de vie into a champagne flute or a coupe glass. Fill the rest of the glass with champagne. Garnish with a frozen pear wedge.
