Sparkling Pear and Rosemary Punch

The key to pulling this off is pear brandy (aka Poire Williams, aka Pear eau de vie), which is made from 100% distilled pear and unaged. This won’t be available at every liquor store, but the nicer ones should have it.  A good pear brandy is shockingly evocative of fresh pear, like eating an actual pear, you can almost taste the grittiness of the skin.
