I remember when I was a child, we drove by a restaurant with the name “The Pink Pear.” My father chuckled, mentioning something about there being a double meaning to the restaurant name. An upscale Hooters, essentially. Try as I might, I didn’t see the double meaning — perhaps this was an early sign of gayness.
And perhaps a more recent sign of gayness is that I should enjoy a cocktail with these ingredients:
THE PINK PEAR:
- Grey Goose pear flavored vodka (”Grey Goose La Poire“)
- Soda water
- Splash of cranberry juice
As you might imagine, I intend no chest-related double meaning here. Instead, the only double meaning is perhaps a suggestion that you order two at once.
Also, I recommend that you not substitute the Grey Goose pear vodka with the more common Absolut pear vodka. Both vodkas taste of pear, but in my opinion Absolut Pear has hints of an underripe pear laced with DDT.
[There might already a drink called the Pink Pear, but since I don't know about it, I'm crediting myself with inventing the name. Add another second to my 15 minutes of fame! Justin gets a h/t for introducing me to Grey Goose Pear vodka. Mmmm.]
