Forgive & Forget
"Forgive & Forget was my take on a fall margarita. Growing up, pears were my favorite fruit and ripe pears were always a sign of the oncoming fall. I wanted to create something that would be crisp and bright, but still have autumnal flavors. Spiced pear liqueur brings warm poached pear and baking spices to the drink, while blanche Armagnac and tequila keeps it fresh and playful." —LT
