Bright, refreshing, and effortlessly classy, this Pear Martini brings a fresh and fruity flavor to cocktail hour.
A pear martini is a smooth and elegant cocktail that highlights the sweet, delicate flavor of ripe pears. Made vodka, pear juice, and balanced with a hint of simple syrup and lemon, it has a crisp, refreshing taste that isn’t overly sweet.
I love pears because they are so delicate and have a subtle sweetness. For more pear recipes you have to check out my Spiced Pear and Pistachio Bread and Pear and Vanilla Dutch Baby.

Yes. I recommend using fresh lemon juice because it has a better overall flavor but you can also use bottled lemon juice.
I like to add a few pear slices to add in more of that pear flavor. You could also garnish with a lemon rind or fresh thyme as well.
