Double Dog Pear
Meet the Double Dog Pear
Your new holiday party trick.
At Two Bitch™ Bourbon HQ, we’ve got a pear tree that absolutely shows off every fall. When it’s fruiting, we’ve usually got 3–4 deer posted up underneath it, shamelessly gorging themselves like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet.Inspired by those greedy little freeloaders, we ‘peared’ that sweet fall pear flavor with holiday spice and smooth Small Batch With Bite™ (it's a puppy pun, people) to create the Double Dog Pear—a cocktail that:
Tastes like fall in a glass
Plays beautifully with Thanksgiving dinner
Makes even your “I only drink beer” cousin reconsider his life choices
The Double Dog Pear is only as good as what’s in the glass—so make sure you’ve got Two Bitch™ Bourbon Small Batch With Bite™ on hand. Check Out our Party Pack Specials!
