This was not only a pretty drink, it tasted really good. I wish the pear would have been more forward then subtle but it was still really tasty. I’m going to have to make this more.

  • 1.5 oz gin
  • 1 oz lemon juice
  • 0.75 oz pear syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • Garnish with a star anise

To make the pear syrup I cut up a pear into 1inch chunks and crushed them into juice using a garlic press. I got almost exactly 1.5 oz doing this, enough for two drinks, I then added a splash of simple syrup to bring it up to 2x 0.75 oz. (Next time I’ll put more effort into this step and boil down the pear juice to get more flavor and naturally sweeten it.) I then poured everything together and shook for a full minute then added ice and shook until cold. Topped it off with a star anise. It was a hit with the wife as well.

    This looks lovely. How is the texture? I love pears but they can be grainy/mealy. And what gin did you use?

      I forgot to mention, I filtered the pear juice with a small mesh colander, so between crushing and filtering it wasn’t grainy at all. Fairly smooth with the egg foam top with it. I used Tanqueray, a London dry gin.
