I wanted to make a simple riff on the Lion’s Tail, swapping the simple for a liqueur, making for a slightly drier drink and a good option when you’re out of syrup.

I found myself missing my favorite cocktails from local bars during the pandemic and started recreating them at home. That led to a hobby and passion for creating my own cocktails. I love sharing my drinks with friends and family, but why stop there? So I've begun posting photos and accompanying recipes on Instagram. Now I'm here sharing the specs for those drinks on Crafted Pour. Cheers!...

Shake all ingredients well with ice, double strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass. No garnish necessary. Cheers!

Editor's Note

Pimento dram swaps simple syrup, lending peppery heat while pear liqueur adds subtle fruit depth.

This sounds like a fantastic, sophisticated riff on a classic! I love the idea of using spiced pear liqueur to add depth instead of just simple syrup.
