I wanted a cocktail that would work happily for any Fall/Winter holiday. You will likely be left with extra pear syrup, which can be poured over ice cream or yogurt, on hot cereal, or to make a kid friendly version of this cocktail. As for the Vanilla Bourbon, I keep a small bottle of bourbon full of a few vanilla beans for cocktails and baking. It's a good way to get extra use out of vanilla beans, if a recipe calls for just the scrapings. It also makes for a nice gift.
