To celebrate my obsession with pears along with apple cider I created a fall bourbon pear cider cocktail! My herb garden is still producing fresh sage, so why not add a little?!

A smooth Bourbon Pear Cider to sip while passing out candy or serve at your fall party.

What Ingredients are Needed for the Autumn Pear Cocktail?

bosc pears
honey
Kentucky bourbon
apple cider
soda water
cinnamon and sugar
fresh sage leaves

How to Garnish the Pear Cocktail

To finish this cocktail I love to cover the rim of the glass with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. Simply mix the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow rimmed plate.

Then, to create a sticky surface for the rim of the glass, dip a paper towel in maple syrup and wipe it along the rim of the glass. Let the syrup go slightly on the inside and outside of the rim just a tad. Dip the glass into the cinnamon sugar mixture and twist gently back and forth to coat the rim.

Finally, fill your glass with the cocktail mixture and garnish with a sprig of fresh sage for color and interest.
