Spiced Honey Pear Sours
3 ounces Hangar 1 Honeycomb Vodka 1/2 juicy ripe pear, cubed 1-1/4 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice 1/4 ounce allspice liqueur 3/4 ounce grade b maple syrup 1 egg white, optional Optional Garnish: Lemon wheel or Honey Disc (recipe follows)
PREPARATION:In a cocktail shaker, pour in Hangar 1 Honeycomb Vodka and pears. Muddle pears just enough to break up the chunks. Then add in the lemon juice, allspice liqueur, maple syrup, and egg white if using. Dry shake (with no ice) for 15 – 20 seconds. Add in ice and shake additional 20 seconds. Depending on the size of the holes in your shaker you may have to either strain through the shaker top, or open that up and strain through a small mesh strainer due to the pears, onto a fresh ice cube in a double rocks glass. HONEY DISC 6 tablespoons granulated sugar 4 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons honey In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar and bring mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, lower heat to medium-low and add in honey (I find a quick 15 second in the microwave makes it easier to pour). Cook without disturbing the mixture until it reaches the hard crack stage (295-310°F, and a candy thermometer comes in handy here). Then pour into disc molds, or free pour onto a silicone mat. Allow to harden at least 30 minutes, then remove from molds and store in an airtight container.
