French Pear Martini

Today I  wanted to start a short series on elevated cocktails for the new year

Don’t worry about taking notes as I am giving out the ingredients and instructions. They are always posted on bourbongospel.com

French Pear Martini

Ingredients

• 1 ½ oz. St. Germain Elderflower liqueur
• 1 ½ oz. Pear Vodka
• Chilled Champagne
• Granulated sugar for the rim
• 1 lemon, wedged
• 1 pear, sliced

Instructions

1. Prepare your garnishes by slicing a lemon into wedges and the pear into rounds.
   Tip: 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.

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.
