Like the eponymous candy, this after-dinner/late-night cocktail has a full-on tangy pear flavour.

Tavor Lahat
Outstanding. Very pear-y, juicy and sweet but beautiful and fun.
I added 2 dashes of chamomile boilers (Luxardo) and a foamer to make foamy, turned out to be great and more complex.
Maybe a bit too sweet, but for those who feel it is too sweet can add a bit of lemon juice.
It is absolutely the best expression of pear flavours in a cocktail.

I gave this to my friend "it tastes like old-fashioned sweets". Enough said!
