Tips & Notes

1. Baked pear is more suitable for winter than raw pear, with a milder sweetness and a warmer taste.
2. If you don't want too much alcohol, reduce the bourbon to 1 oz.
3. For a more festive feel, add 1 clove or 1 drop of vanilla extract.
4. If you have children and want to make a non-alcoholic drink, omit the bourbon and use hot pear juice with honey.
