While there isn’t a partridge in sight (unless you count the Partridge Family Christmas album currently playing) this Pear Tree cocktail is a perfect holiday drink; it is great for entertaining or just for staying in like so many of us are doing during this pandemic yuletide. St-Germain is an elderflower liqueur created in the artisanal French manner from freshly hand-picked elderflower blossoms. We used Absolut Pears Vodka, which has a good, strong pear flavor. The Victorians believed that rosemary represents remembrance and while this year may be one we would all like to forget, this light, fruity, bubbly drink reminds us of happier times in the past and in the future.
