I'm allergic to pears, so I couldn't try this cocktail. But it sounds delicious!

This cocktail is way too strong! I could barely taste the pear and cider flavors.

I found this cocktail to be a bit bland. I think it could use a bit more spice.

This cocktail is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it with less simple syrup next time.

I'm not a big fan of pear, but I loved this cocktail. The cider flavor really mellows out the pear flavor.

I've made this cocktail with both regular cider and hard cider. Both versions are delicious, but I prefer the hard cider version.

This cocktail is the perfect balance of sweet and tart. It's not too sweet and not too sour.
