We got a new roommate in the house, and to my delight, he brought a box of fresh pears from his parents’ trees with him on his first day and told us to have at ‘em. Yessssssssss.
They were so ripe, so sweet, and so delicious. And even better with a little Jameson. Naturally. What a way to welcome a new housemate.
Pear Ginger Smash
(makes 1 drink)
1/2 pear, wedged and cored
.5 oz. lime juice
1.5 oz. whiskey
.5 oz. Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur
Ginger Ale
Muddle the pear and lime juice until the pear is pulverized. Add the rest of the ingredients, ice and shake vigorously in a cocktail shaker. Strain with a julep strainer
The Domaine de Canton is a nice way to add ginger flavor to your drink, and an interesting alternative to ginger syrup. Though, they’re probably somewhat interchangeable here.

Looks refreshing and soothing, can I try with vodka instead of whiskey? i really can’t stand whiskey going down my throat. Love the photo
You could certainly try vodka. It would taste completely different, but I’m sure it would still be lovely.
