Père Noël

1.5 oz Tito’s vodka 1.5 oz Rothman & Winter Orchard Pear liqueur, or similar (such as Mathilde Poir) ½ oz fresh-squeezed lemon juice Barspoon St. Elizabeth’s Allspice Dram Combine ingredients in a mixing glass and shake vigorously with ice to chill. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a slice of fresh pear, if available, or a lemon twist. In French, Père Noël is Santa Claus, or Father Christmas.”Père” is pronounced almost exactly the same as “pear,” so this drink is a holiday play-on-words. I chose to use pears because the holiday season always makes me think of those boxes of fabulous pears and other fruits that come in the mail.
