Directions
The Blind Monkey cocktail is born from our boundless love for pears. It has a particular and totalizing flavor that sees the pear as a tyrant of the glass.
The flavor is complex and layered, with various spices that intertwine to create a background that can smooth the sweetness of the pear.
The alcoholic base of this cocktail is formed by vodka, Williamine and amaretto liqueur, a trio that is exalted with pears.
The sweetener is fragrant lavender honey, rare but fundamental for the perfect success of the cocktail.
The alcohol content is not heavy and is excellent as a summer aperitif or to accompany finger food or throughout the meal with fish dinners under the stars.
