About
This cocktail was created by Jacques Bezuidenhout (@lovetequila) in 2004 while he was working at Pesce in San Francisco. He built it around a neglected bottle of Manzanilla sherry, pairing it with reposado tequila and pear liqueur. He named it after La Perla, the tequila-focused London restaurant run by Tomas Estes, then entered it in a local sherry cocktail competition and won.
