💡 Tips & Notes

Pear juice matters: Ripe pears have a stronger flavor; unripe pears will be too astringent.

For a stronger vanilla note, use thyme syrup instead of rosemary.

The wintery flavor: Add 1–2 drops of vanilla extract.

Mocktail version: Omit vodka and use 3–4 oz of soda.

More fancy: Dip the rim of the cup in granulated sugar and dried rosemary flakes.
