The French Pear is an elegant cocktail that offers a harmonious blend of anise-flavored absinthe and the sweet, ripe essence of pear. This combination is brightened with a touch of lemon juice, adding a certain zesty sharpness to the mix.

The sugar syrup lends a smooth sweetness that balances the overall flavor profile. Typically served in a lowball glass, this cocktail captures the sophisticated spirit of France with its focus on premium, nuanced flavors that beckon connoisseurs seeking a refined drinking experience.

Fresh and fruity yet underpinned by the complex, herbal notes of absinthe, the French Pear cocktail makes a chic and refreshing choice.

Ingredient substitutions icon

Can I substitute Absinthe with something else in the French Pear cocktail?
