　　The first thing you'll notice about a glass of this aperitif—besides its festive sparkling sugar cube—is its amazing aroma, a little like having a ripe pear waved under your nose. And yet it's a deliciously dry, grown-up drink that perfectly complements the flavorful hors d'oeuvres.

Ingredients

　　6 sugar cubes

　　6 teaspoons pear brandy

　　1 chilled 750-ml bottle Prosecco

　　Put a sugar cube in each of 6 Champagne flutes. Add 1 teaspoon pear brandy to each flute, then about 2/3 cup Prosecco.
