DRINK OF THE SEASON

Elderflower Pear &

Sprıtz

While the spritz is asso ciated with warm weather, it’s a chameleon of a drink that can adapt to any season. We’ve given our Pear & Elderflower Spritz (p. 113) all the fall feels with an entire pear, chopped and shaken vigorously so it releases its ripe, juicy flavour. Vodka gives it structure, elderflower liqueur adds sweetness, and sparkling wine brings the bubbles.
