Dangerous Orbit Champagne Cocktail

Cooking Instructions

Combine all ingredients except for the pomegranate seeds and the prosecco. Bring to a boil and then simmer lightly for about an hour, until the mixture begins to thicken. Strain through a food mill or sieve. Try to mash the pears through the sieve and into the poaching liquid in order to thicken it. You can optionally lighten it up a little with the addition of pear cider, to make it fruitier, or a little brandy, for some spice. Store in the refrigerator or on ice until well chilled. To serve: Pour half an ounce of the pear mixture into the bottom of a champagne flute, drop 3-5 pomegranate seeds on top and fill with your favorite prosecco, champagne or cava.
