Peartini Cocktail
from https://www.thespruceeats.com/

The Peartini is a simple and sweet cocktail that combines the flavor of pears with a little spice. It's a fun flavor for a martini and a perfect excuse to pick up a bottle of pear vodka.

The spiced syrup uses classic wintertime spices like clove, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, vanilla, and orange. Brown sugar is the sweetener and gives it a rich base. This combination makes it a great drink to enjoy during the holidays. If you like, use an unflavored simple syrup and enjoy the drink year-round.

There are a number of great pear vodkas available and Grey Goose La Poire is a favorite for this cocktail. You can also infuse your own vodka when the fruit is in season.

Pears are just like apples when it comes to garnishes. Once you cut the fruit, the flesh will begin to brown as it's exposed to oxygen. To keep your garnishes looking fresh, give them a quick dunk in lemon juice right after cutting the slices. Shake off the excess, cut a small slit so it fits on the glass rim, and pour your drink.
