One of the best cocktails based on Bison Grass Liqueur I have tasted, its accents jutting through the pear flavours, yet also in harmony with them. Used Maraska Pear Liqueur in the absence of the suggested Spiced Pear brand whose notes would assuredly have added greater complexity to the drink. Definitely a cocktail for pear dedicatees!
