We chose to garnish our cocktail with Seckel or Forelle pear slices because of their small size — they fit perfectly in the Champagne flutes. Be sure to lower the slices slowly into the flute or the Champagne will bubble over.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon Poire William or other pear eau-de-vie
6 oz demi-sec Champagne or sparkling wine, chilled
Garnish: thin slices of pear
Directions
Pour eau-de-vie into a Champagne flute and swirl around to coat inside of glass. Top off with Champagne.
