I’ve always been a fan of anything Clear Creek Distillery puts out, especially their pear brandy. It’s the best pear Eau de Vie that I’ve come across. This pear brandy old fashioned recipe comes together to create the perfect fall or winter cocktail.
The Pimento (Allspice) Dram adds those familiar seasonal notes of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg that work perfectly with pear. Amaro Montenegro adds a touch more complexity and sweetness, and the vanilla simple syrup helps tie it all together. A dash of Bittercube’s Cherry Bark Vanilla bitters provides the perfect final accent. It’s the perfect seasonal twist on the timeless Old Fashioned.
