    Very nice and tasty! It is strong but if you use high quality liquor (no Triple Sec!) it comes together well. You can use lime or lemon - I've used both and each taste good.

    This drink was way too strong! My guests did not like it at all. I would not recommend this one

    Sophisticated. Fantastic. Quality of the Pear brandy is key. Instead of Poire Williams I used Brandy Peak "Spirit of Pear Brandy" (Oregon), and Cointreau.
