The BVC Pear Martini

Ingredients

1/2 oz Domaine De Canton (ginger liqueur)

1/2 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice

2 ounces pear vodka (Grey Goose La Poire)

2-3 TBSP pear puree*

1 tsp honey

1 pear sliced thin for use as a garnish (optional)

*Ingredient Note:  I'll let you in on a little secret.  You can make your own pear puree but, depending on the pears that are available at the market, the flavors of the pears may very.  We found the best thing to use for a pear puree for this martini is baby food.  Yes you read correctly.  This way you will achieve a consistent flavor for your martinis.  (We find the brand Earth's Best Pear to be our favorite.)

1.  A good rule of thumb before you make any martini is to take the martini glass that you will be using, fill it with ice, and then add water.  This allows the glass to chill while you are making your martini.

2.  Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker nearly filled with ice.  Shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds.  Pour Pear Martini mixture into your pre-chilled martini glass.  Garnish with a thin slice of pear
