As true believers of the work hard, play hard mantra, we present you with It’s Been a Long Week, a weekly column aimed at awarding some liquid appreciation to you for just being yourself, dammit. Make a glass or two on us, you deserve it.

WHAT

Pear Madcap from the Four Seasons The Biltmore Santa Barbara
Straight from the Four Seasons The Biltmore Santa Barbara‘s seaside hotspot, Ty Lounge, mixologist Joshua Burrey couples quirky cocktails with the watering hole’s well-known Spanish tapas. Refreshingly simple, Burrey’s Pear Madcap is a light concoction that will have you scrolling back up—or, even better, making a trip out west—for a refill.

HOW

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. St. George Green Chile vodka
  • 1 oz. Lime juice
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 1 sliced pear
  • 0.5 oz. Simple syrup
  • Rekorderlig pear cider to top
