Pear brandy

Poire Williams, Pear eau de vie, St. George, Clear Creek, Kruskovac, Pálinka

Some extra-fancy varieties of pear brandy come in a bottle with a whole pear inside, created by strapping the bottle to the tree while the pear is still budding. You don’t need to hold out for such an elaborate bottling – pear brandy can be had at nearly any price point. Just stay away from the bottom shelf – as with most fruit spirits, the cheapest varieties are usually artificially-flavored sugar-booze.
