St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur
St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur
St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur is a beautifully composed expression that marries the purity of world-class pear brandy with the finesse of a pastry chef’s spice cabinet. Crafted in the United States by St. George Spirits, this fruit liqueur begins with their celebrated pear brandy and is gently layered with fresh pear juice, whole cloves, Saigon cinnamon, and a touch of organic cane sugar. The result is a liqueur that balances decadence with restraint—rich and aromatic, yet never cloying. It captures the comforting essence of spiced pear desserts while remaining refined enough to elevate both classic and contemporary cocktails.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is the bottle for the friend who lingers over dessert, or the host who loves a seasonal cocktail. St. George Spirits in California builds it on their own pear brandy, layered with fresh pear juice, whole cloves, Saigon cinnamon and a touch of organic cane sugar, so it tastes like a spiced pear tart without tipping into cloying. Ripe Bartlett pear leads on the nose with cinnamon, clove and vanilla. The palate is smooth and rich, like spiced pear butter, with nutmeg and a hint of star anise, before a long, warming finish that closes clean. It makes a thoughtful housewarming or holiday hostess gift in autumn and winter because it works in so many ways: sipped lightly chilled after dinner, stirred into a Pear Old Fashioned, topped with dry prosecco for an aperitif, or drizzled over vanilla ice cream. Tuck a bottle of sparkling wine alongside it and you have given an entire evening.
Pairs well with
- Vanilla ice cream — A light drizzle lets the liqueur's pear and cinnamon notes play against the vanilla that also appears on its nose.
- Poached pears and warm pastries — Its spiced pear butter texture and baking spice palate echo a freshly baked pear tart.
- Holiday hostess or housewarming gift — Its cinnamon, clove and nutmeg warmth suits autumn and winter gatherings, and it works both as a sipper and as a cocktail ingredient.
