History
Adapted from a recipe created in 2003 by Jamie Terrell at the iconic Dick's Bar at the Atlantic Bar & Grill in London, England. The Atlantic Bar & Grill opened in 1994, and it, particularly Dick's Bar, is considered the birthplace of the cocktail renaissance.
Shaken and strained into an ice-filled Collins glass:

60ml (2oz) Scotch whisky
30ml (1oz) Pear & Cognac liqueur
90ml (3oz) Apple juice
15ml (½oz) Lime juice
7.5ml (¼oz) Vanilla syrup
A "Deluxe Version" was shaken and strained into a chilled Martini glass:
Pulp of 1 fresh Passion fruit
45ml (1½oz) Scotch whisky
30ml (1oz) Pear & cognac liqueur
30ml (1oz) Apple juice
30ml (1oz) Pear juice
7.5ml (¼oz) Lime juice
Review
Scotch, pear and apple combine wonderfully in this fruity and balanced cocktail. Pear juice in place of apple juice produces a richer and arguably tastier cocktail.
