Pear Anise Cooler

By Khai Duong, Ana Mandara

Serves 1

1 star anise
¼ Asian pear
1 bar spoon honey
1 ½ ounce pear liquor
5 ounces light beer
3 thin slices Asian pear for garnish

In a shaker, add star anise, Asian pear and honey. Muddle completely.  Fill with ice and add pear liquor. Shake and strain into a tall glass.  Fill glass halfway with ice. Top with light beer and garnish with a slice of Asian pear.

Chef’s Quote: Growing up in Vietnam, we would mix fruit and ice cold beers for a refreshing drink during the hot steamy summers.This is a cocktail that is refreshing that reminds me of those summers.
