Sweet Pear Cocktail

Most of you know that a refreshing dark and stormy is my go-to drink, but I recently got into bourbon. It's a nice change of pace and seems very fitting for Fall. This pear cocktail, made with a little bit of sage, pear nectar and bourbon, is the perfect signature drink for your next gathering or even just a quiet night at home, which is how I plan to enjoy it. I finally have some free time on the weekends and can't wait to catch up on life. Tonight's agenda involves this cocktail and the latest Brooklyn magazine - how Brooklyn of me, right? I know what you're thinking :)

Enjoy!
