Playing Hooky
This cocktail is a riff on the Martinez; a clear version like a White Negroni. Pear Cognac and Peruvian Pisco led me to the Peruvian phrase “Tirades la pera.” It translates as truancy, which we call “playing hooky” or ditching work to go and have some fun. In true Martinez fashion, the cocktail couldn’t exist without a fine vermouth.
