Preparation

1. Peel, seed and dice 1 pear into equal 1/4-inch cubes. Place the cubes in a plastic container, and pour in enough pear liqueur to cover. Let the pear macerate in the refrigerator for 2 hours (not more, or the cubes will become oversaturated). If the pear is properly macerated, the cubes will dance in the glass.
2. When ready to serve, spoon about 1 teaspoon of macerated pear into the bottom of a Champagne flute. Pour Champagne slowly into the flute (Craft uses a Riedel Restaurant Series glass, with more of a wineglass shape), because it tends to bubble up in reaction to the pears. Serve.
