Pear Tini
PUBLISHED ON: 05.26.2011
A perfect social drink. The color is pale yellow, almost white with an intense flavor of pear and lemon that blend together nicely. A rim of cinnamon powder and sugar that gives this summery martini it’s fresh taste.
Pear Tini
Serves 1
Recipe adapted from Cafe Firenze
Ingredients:
1-1/4 oz (5 counts) Pear Vodka
1 oz (4 counts) Fresh pear nectar
1/2 oz (2 counts) sweet and sour
1/4 oz (1 count) Triple Sec
1 lime wedge (squeezed)
Directions:
Grab the mixing glass and pour 1-1/4 oz of infused pear vodka then 1 oz of pear nectar. Make sure it is nectar and not juice otherwise your drink will be runny and flavorless instead of smooth and slick. Now add the 1/4 oz of triple sec and 1/2 oz of sweet and sour. For the drink to have the best result it has to be made with the best products!
Shake it and pour it in a chilled and cinnamon rimmed martini glass and Salute!

I love your drink posts, Velva. I think we could be best friends if I lived closer. I could be your tester! Licking my lips at this one!I saw someone make a pear vinaigrette on the Cooking Channel last week and it looked wonderful.

Okay, wow. That looks outstanding. I bet this is one of those naughty drinks that you enjoy at the bar and then fall straight on the floor when you get up to go to the bathroom 🙂 Well done!

I have some leftover vodka after making the vanilla extract. Do you think I can use the plain flavour vodka too? Hopefully, I won't get drunk. hahaha…. Enjoy your day!Kristy

Not a fan of pear as a fruit, the texture, but I'd love it as a cocktail! Looks so good.

You always have the most amazing drinks. I like the spice used. Have tried appletinis and they were a bit sweet for my taste – this looks like a go!
