ABOUT
This cocktail was created by Anu Shukla (@anushu802), a full-time physician and part-time cocktail enthusiast, as part of an entry for a Christmas tequila competition. His goal was to create a stirred cocktail that embodied the holiday season, which was achieved through pear, vanilla (Licor 43), and mezcal for some earthiness. Cheers y’all!
