Recipe found on diffords guide created by Simon Difford. Imagine eating a pear 🍐 crumble/cobbler/crisp sitting by a fire 🔥 and you would be very close to what this libation is. Slightly sweet with various pear/orchard fruit flavours (baked, fresh, with skin), hints of cereal/oats, dough, brandied fruit, vanilla, laced with smoke. 😋 Perfect for the colder fall evenings. What A Pear 1.5 oz (45ml) Pear Liqueur ½ oz (15ml) Poire Eau-de-Vie ⅓ oz (10ml) Peated Scotch Whisky ⅓ oz (10ml) Fresh Lemon Juice ¾ oz (22.5ml) Pear Juice 4 drops Saline Solution

Quick video (we'll see if it uploads properly). While in Kauai where the citrus are varied and amazing, I would prepare different juices every night and do a quick extraction of citrus peels (any of these alone or together: Meyer lemon, lime, kalamansi, buddha hand lemon,...) in a vacuum chamber. About 5 minutes (5 cycles of 1 minute) in white rum. Amazing how much citrus flavour ends up into the drinks.

Just finished making my first Habanero tincture and had it in a Margarita last night. It was fantastic. I love not having make the syrup that goes bad quickly or having to buy peppers every week to throw in the shaker. My favorite part is the ease of adjusting the amount of heat in the cocktail.

Recipe found on Difford Guide, created by Johan Tufvesson At first I was not sure if I would make this one, until I remembered I have tobacco bitters. Instead of smoking the glass a simple rinse brought the aroma and flavours 💨 Even without the special treatment this is a great sipper especially if one lets it warm in the glass while holding it as one does with cognac. The tobacco and fruit aroma intermingle with a hint of baking spices. The dense richness of the fruits coats the palate. There are dates, prunes and raisins, but also stone fruits 🍑, even hints of orchard fruits 🍐 🍎, barrel notes with sweet spiced Xmas pudding with hints of humidor. The finish pleasantly lingers for several minutes allowing to slowly enjoy this 😋 The tobacco contrasts the rest of the ingredients but even without it’s a wonderful slow warming sipper, especially once it gets to body temperature. Le Traite des Pyrenees (The Treaty of the Pyrenees) Cigar Smoked Glass (used a rinse of tobacco bitters ) 1.5 oz (45ml) Cognac ⅓ oz (10ml) Pedro Ximénez Sherry 2 dashes Angostura Bitters 1 dash Peach Bitters Apricot Garnish
