Bartlett pear or pear juice
Lemon
Cinnamon simple syrup
Ice
For the cinnamon simple syrup":
Sugar
Water
Cinnamon sticks
Do I need to use cinnamon simple syrup?
You don’t have to, but I definitely prefer it! It adds a nice cinnamon flavor, but if you want you can use regular simple syrup.
Do I need to use Bartlett pears?
It’s not necessary, but they are typically the most juicy, so you’ll get more pear flavor if you use this type of pear!
Can I use a liquor besides bourbon?
I have only ever made this cocktail with bourbon, so I can’t vouch for anything else!
