Pear-Cardamom Flip
This recipe came from Daniel Braun at Oliver’s Twist in Seattle. Our panel of judges were duly impressed with his Pear-Cardamom Flip, which features pears in three forms: muddled, in a syrup, and as a garnish. Enjoy!
The Oregon Anjou
This drink pays homage to the home of the pear with fine Northwest ingredients. Pair it with Northwest cheeses and berries for a regional celebration. ~ by Kelley Swenson
