The most dangerous cocktails aren't the ones that taste like alcohol. They're the ones that don't.
The Zoë is exactly that.
The spiced pear gin, Greek fig syrup, fresh lemon, and ginger beer come together so well that you could easily forget there's liquor in the glass at all. It's crisp, refreshing, lightly sweet, and ridiculously easy to drink. Every sip tastes balanced, with the pear and fig adding just enough character without overpowering the citrus and ginger.
Then it hits you.
Not immediately, of course. This cocktail plays the long game. It lulls you into a false sense of security before politely reminding you why bartenders measure pours.
