Au Pear 75 with IMPOSTER Gin

Pear • lightly sweet rim • soda sparkle

Sparkling Au Pear 75 in a sugar-rimmed coupe with a lemon twist on dark wood

Au Pear 75 takes its sparkling finish from soda water, not Champagne. Its small IMPOSTER Gin pour sits alongside pear mixer and citrus sour, with a partial sugar rim letting the drinker choose how much rim sweetness reaches each sip. Shake the still ingredients before straining into a coupe or champagne glass, then add the soda. A lemon twist supplies the finishing aroma without another juice measure. This is a lighter-volume Gin-inspired option for a toast or the opening drink at dinner. Follow the unusually small source measures rather than assuming this has the same proportions as the separate French 75.

Instructions

Step 3: Shake

Shake vigorously until the shaker feels cold.

Step 4: Strain

Why This Works With IMPOSTER Gin

The source uses 0.5 oz Gin, 0.25 oz citrus sour, and 0.5 oz pear mixer before topping with soda. Gin contributes botanical character without being the largest measured component. Keeping soda out of the shaker preserves the sparkle, and a partial rim leaves a plain edge for a less sweet sip.

Serving Notes

Prepare the partial sugar rim before filling the glass; keep the sugar outside the liquid.

Add plain soda after straining. The source does not give a measured top-up volume.

Variations and Substitutions

Plain rim

Omit the sugar rim if desired. Do not replace it by adding sugar to the liquid recipe.

Glass choice

The source permits a coupe or champagne glass. Use the same measured still ingredients in either.
