The impressive cocktail program at Calistoga, Calif.'s Solbar "takes it's lead from the michelin-starred kitchen — using fresh, local products at the pique of their ripeness and availability," says head bartender Michael Pazdon. Pears served as the initial inspiration behind this stunning creation. From there, Pazdon says he "selected white whiskey, which has a more delicate flavor and a nice maltiness to it, and then brought in sage which has a natural muskiness, and finally orgeat to bring everything together with its richness and floral notes."
