About this pear martini recipe:

If you like easy drinks and you like pears then this spiced pear martini is for you. I love pears and I think they are a delicious Fall fruit. For me, pears taste great in so many Fall recipes from cocktails, like in this recipe or in desserts like my pear frangipane tart.

I also like easy recipes and with this pear martini, the only step that you need to do ahead of time is make the pear simple syrup. This simple syrup adds a lot of the flavor to this pear cocktail and it is very easy to make.

Ingredients you will need to make this pear cocktail:

• A good quality vodka like Grey Goose Vodka, Absolut Vodka or Titos Vodka.
• Pear liqueur. This is not the same as pear cognac. Pear liqueur can be found in most liquor stores. If you have pear vodka you can use this in place of the vodka and pear liqueur in the recipe.
• Pear simple syrup.
• Fresh lemon wedges.

The spice flavor in this spiced pear and vodka cocktail is from the cinnamon that is added when making the simple syrup. You can spice this martini up even more with a tablespoon of freshly grated ginger and that would be really delicious with the pear flavor.

Here is what you need to make the pear simple syrup:

• Fresh pears. You can use frozen and thawed pears as well.
• Granulated sugar.
• Cinnamon.
• Water

How to make pear simple syrup:

Combine all of your simple syrup ingredients in a small sauce pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Once the sugar completely dissolves you take the simple syrup off of the heat and place a lid on top and let it rest.

You will want to plan ahead for this part since the syrup needs about an hour to rest and let the flavor from the pears infuse into the syrup.

The rest of the ingredients that you will need for the pear martini can be purchased at your local liquor store. This pear martini is as easy as adding the ingredients into a cocktail shaker and shaking well.

Making this Pear Cocktail:

Once you have all of your ingredients you are going to add your pear liqueur, pear simple syrup, vodka and fresh squeezed lemon to a cocktail shaker. Place the lid on tightly and shake well for one minute.

Pour into a martini glass that has been dipped into simple syrup then dipped into some sugar and garnish with a fresh sliced pear.

This spiced pear martini recipe really is the perfect Winter and Fall cocktail. It definitely deserves a spot on your table during the holidays and get togethers and everyone will love it.
