French Pear Martini Recipe

My favorite pear cocktail is a French Pear Martini. It’s strong, sweet, and so delicious! I absolutely adore the flavors of both pear and elderflower so this martini hits all of the marks for me. Plus it’s fancy enough to taste like a special “celebratory” drink thanks to the splash of champagne, perfect for toasting in the new year!

Ingredients Needed for a French Pear Martini

  • St. Germain – this elderflower liqueur is one of my favorite liqueurs. Made from elderflowers it’s very floral and sweet and is the perfect complimentary flavor to juicy pear vodka.
  • Pear Vodka – I’m not usually a huge flavored vodka fan but I do really love the flavor if Smirnoff Pear Vodka in this cocktail.
  • Chilled Champagne – Chose a good dry champagne for this cocktail.
  • Granulated sugar– optional for the rim
  • lemon and pear for garnish

How to Make a Pear Martini

  1. Prepare your garnishes by slicing a lemon into wedges and the pear into rounds. To prevent pear from discoloring, squeeze a lemon over cut slices.
  2. To prepare martini glasses, run a lemon wedge around the rim and dip into sugar. (optional)
  3. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine St. Germain and Pear Vodka. Shake vigorously until well chilled.
  4. Strain into prepared martini glass and top with champagne.
  5. Garnish with a round of pear and a festive stir stick.
