I thought this was great. Subtle and quite charming. Admittedly with subbing including Bonal for vermouth, and pear & cognac liqueur plus pear brandy for the recommended liqueur. Some lovely fruity spice from the pimento. Great drink.

Also added a quarter of teaspoon of homemade cinnamon sugar as my ad hoc pear liqueur sub was rather dry. Worked well I thought.

The pear/allspice/apple flavor mix was very enjoyable. I did swap in a little bit of apple whiskey instead of the full amount of calvados. That seemed to cut the sweetness factor just a bit.

The pear flavor is greatly lost, even though I used pear brandy instead of calvados. The Pimento Dram flavor is very prominent.

Really, really loved this. Perfect for a night cap. A little on the sweet side, but OK as a night cap. Does work great over ice. Love the kick from the Pimento Dram and the bitters.

This is too sweet for my taste. The original has pear eau-de-vie and less vermouth, which I think works better.
