The Story Behind The Sea of Confusion
Tropical flavors and Jamaican rum give this multi-colored cocktail a summer vacation vibe. If you don’t have pear brandy, you can substitute grappa, kirsch, or even Cognac.
The recipe comes to us from Houston Eaves, beverage director of San Antonio’s Esquire Tavern. Opened in 1933, it’s the city’s oldest watering hole, and holds the strange yet notable distinction of having the longest wooden bar in the state.
