  • Shake It Up:
  • Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. This will chill and mix the ingredients well.
  • Strain:
  • Discard the ice water from the martini glass. Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the chilled martini glass.

  • Add a slice of pear on the rim of the glass and, if desired, place a cinnamon stick for an aromatic touch.

  • Variations
  • For a Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace the vodka and pear liqueur with sparkling pear juice and soda water. Add a splash of lemon juice for some tang.
  • For a Festive Twist: Add a splash of cranberry juice for a colorful and slightly tart variation, especially around the holidays.
  • Spicy Kick: Incorporate a dash of cayenne pepper or a few slices of jalapeño for an added kick.
