I am stuck somewhere in the middle of needing fall to be here yesterday and not wanting to let go of summer and all of it's produce. Don't get me wrong I am beyond ready to feel the weather shift because this 95 degree business isn't cutting it for me! But, I also hate to say goodbye to long days, my favorite produce, and sun-kissed skin. To help get my mind in fall mode, I created a spiced pear bourbon old fashioned cocktail in partnership with Drizly.com, a website where you can have your favorite alcohol delivered right to your front door!
I don't know about you, but this concept is super exciting to me! When Drizly approached me about creating a cocktail, it was a no brainer. The idea of not having to leave my house when I need a certain ingredient for a cocktail is genius! You should definitely check their site out!
Bourbon to me is the quintessential fall liquor and when the weather starts to shift, so does what I drink. My spiced pear bourbon old fashioned is everything I love about fall and is a fun take on a class bourbon drink. With warm spices and a hint of pear running through the infused bourbon, you will want to sip on this cocktail all season long! Cheers!
Ingredients:
1 Cup of Bourbon (Buy it Here)
1 Pear, Peeled and Diced
1 Cinnamon Stick
1/8 Tsp. Nutmeg
2 Whole Cloves
1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
Orange Peel
Splash of Water
Directions:
In a mason jar, combine bourbon, diced pear, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, cloves, and brown sugar.
Shake well and let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
When ready to serve the cocktail, place two large ice cubes into a glass.
Strain the bourbon through a fine mesh strainer.
Twist an orange peel over the glass and rub around the rim.
Pour the strained spiced pear bourbon into the glass and stir twice. (However much you fancy here.)
Serve immediately and garnish with extra pear, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and an orange peel.
