Substitutes for Pear & Cognac liqueur
Pear and brandy in one bottle, and apart they reassemble more precisely than you would think.
Often confused with
Pear liqueur with a spoon of cognac
The bottle comes apart into two: the fruit from the liqueur, the body from the brandy. A barspoon of cognac to a measure of liqueur usually does it.
Dry and twice the strength, with no sugar. It gives the pear more precisely than any liqueur, and the sweetness has to be built with syrup.
Storage
The cognac base makes this steadier than most fruit liqueurs — brandy carries its own weight and does not depend on a fragile top note. It still fades, but over years rather than months. An ordinary shelf is fine.
