Ingredients
- 1.5 oz Pear brandy (or pear liqueur)
- 1 oz Cognac
- 0.75 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.5 oz Simple syrup
- 1 cup Ice
- 2 tbsp Superfine sugar
- 1 piece Lemon wedge (for glass rim)

Instructions
Chill a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes.
Prepare a sugar rim: Spread the superfine sugar onto a small plate. Run the lemon wedge along the rim of the chilled glass, then dip the rim into the sugar to evenly coat. Set the glass aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine pear brandy, cognac, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice and securely close the lid.
Shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass using a fine-mesh strainer for a smoother texture.
Garnish with a thin slice of pear on the rim or floated in the drink.
