Coup glasses were all the rage for champagne in the 1920s, which inspired Baltimore bartender J. R. Gilpin to create the Millionaire’s Obsession — a bubbly twist on a classic champagne cocktail that will add a bit of luxury to your dinner party. The Millionaire’s Obsession uses a house-made spiced pear liqueur for a personal touch.
