Wanted to try this for an aperitif, but was afraid it may be a bit sweet for the two of us. So, we swapped the Pear Brandy and Poire William eau-de-vie. Worked perfectly.

What a waste of good spirits, these ingredients just don't go well together.

I've reimagined this cocktail, hopefully for the better, and will re-photograph.
