In late summer, when the pears are extra ripe and juicy, it's delightful to juice them for a cocktail. If you don't have any pears, just use pear nectar.
Our sours mix recipe is easy. 1 part simple syrup, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part lime juice.
Lone Pear Sour
1/2 oz. Liberty Pole Spirits Rye Whiskey
1 oz. Pear Liqueur (or a nice pear moonshine)
1/2 oz. fresh pear juice or pear nectar
1 oz. sours mix
1 oz. sweet red wine
Shake all but the red wine on ice.
Strain into a wine glass and add ice.
Pour red wine slowly over the back of a bar spoon so that it floats on top.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
