I am weighing my options for this year's pre-Thanksgiving feast cocktail, and I cannot find anything to compare to this gem. We served this last year to a great and grateful crowd - it is beautiful, festive, bubbly and happily fizzy. I wish I made triple the base puree last year, because our crowd would have kept on sipping. Make this for your Thanksgiving kickoff and you will have an instant hit! Thank you, Claire!

I love anise, so i let it steep for quite awhile longer than the recipe called for, and it was yummy. also added extra pear nectar to offset the liqueur. I couldn't find the exact liqueur called for, so I bought a different brand ("J" and it seemed to work just fine. Liqueur was pricey, but I found a decent bubbly at BevMo for $5 a bottle, so that helped, plus, it makes alot of drinks, so cost per drink is actually not too bad.

I made this exactly as in the recipe. Absolutely loved it. The liquor is price, but is just lovely with the pear juice and prosecco. I expect it would be fine without the star anise, but for Thanksgiving it gave the cocktail a spicey autumn flavor which made it perfect for Thanksgiving. I wish I'd doubled the recipe as I could have sipped it all night.

Fixed this for our early Thanksgiving; I LOVED it and give it 5 stars, but the anise-adverse people in the family did not. Would be just fine without the anise, but the prosecco and Poire William pear brandy, which is not inexpensive, are an absolute must for the flavors those impart. Would like to try with a liqueur sometime just to see how it changes the flavor; generally liqueurs are quite sweet and might be too much w/the nectar.
