Sparkling Bourbon Pear Cocktail Recipe

• 2 bartlett pears, cored and sliced into eighths
• 3 1/2 tablespoons fresh juice, from two lemons
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup roasted pear puree
• 2 cups Four Roses Yellow Label Bourbon
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup Bourbon Pear Mixer
• 3 tablespoons chilled sparkling wine (from 1 bottle)
• Ice
• Additional ground cloves for garnish

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0F. Arrange the pear slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the underside of each slice begins to caramelize, about 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Add to blender with lemon juice and ground clove and puree until very smooth, or puree in a bowl with an immersion blender.
2. In a pitcher or quart jar, stir together pear puree, bourbon, and maple syrup. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 4 hours. Stir before serving.
3. Fill each glass with ice, add the bourbon pear mixer and top with sparkling wine. Stir once and sprinkle with ground clove to serve.
