Ingredients

  • ½ fresh ripe pear diced
  • 2 oz pear vodka I used Grey Goose La Poire
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice 
  • ½-1 oz simple syrup 

Ice

Pear Slices

Instructions

  • Muddle pear: Dice up ½ of the pear and add to a cocktail shaker. Muddle the pear together until it’s released its juices and is mashed.
  • Shake: Add in the pear vodka, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Add in 1 cup of ice and shake the drink for 20-30 seconds. 
  • Strain: Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a pear slice.

Notes

  • Add 1 oz Elderflower liquer, like St Germain
  • Finish it with a splash of pear nectar or pear juice, if you're lucky enough to find it!
  • Add a dash or two of orange bitters to compliment and balance the sweet flavors.
