Cocktail of the Week: La Perla

This strange, but delicious, drink came from Imbibe magazine. (I highly recommend it.) It's rich (tequila), fruity (pear liqueur), and bracing (sherry) all at once. Would be a nice after-dinner drink, I think.

La Perla
1 1/2 ounce tequila reposado (Herradura is a personal favorite.)
1 1/2 ounce manzanilla sherry (Use La Gitana if you can find it.)
3/4 ounce Mathilde pear liqueur

Shake ingredients in ice-filled shaker and strain into a cocktail glass. (I used a copita in honor of the sherry.) Garnish with a lemon twist.
