Rosemary and Pear Cocktail
Pears are one of my favorite fruits, and they just so happen to be in season right now, so I decided to share this delicious pear cocktail. And since everything ties back to the holidays these days, I think it would make a terrific pre-dinner Thanksgiving drink. (Slightly off topic, but have you ever seen […]
