Absolut Pear Martini

You are going to love my Pear Martini recipe. It’s the perfect cocktail for a special occasion or every day. It is super delicious with a crisp pear flavor and a splash of St. Germain Liqueur. A simple and refreshing pear martini made with pear vodka, homemade Thymes Simple syrup.

With the Fall Season, I thought pear was more appropriate, gave me an excuse to pick up some pear vodka. But this Pear Martini would be delicious any time of the year. I use simple syrup (sugar and water) in a lot of my cocktails. It is a clear sugar syrup consisting of equal parts water and sugar melted on the stove on very low heat. It is a universal cocktail sweetener that dissolves in your drink. You can buy Simple Syrup at your local market of the liquor store, but fresh is always better. I highly recommend making a jar of simple syrup and storing it in the fridge for a cocktail such as this recipe. Having simple syrup on hand makes stirring up the pear martini and other classic cocktails a breeze.
