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.
