PEAR VODKA MARTINI

PEAR VODKA MARTINI

Ingredients: 

• 3 ounces vodka (lemon or cucumber infused vodka would be fabulous!)
• 1 ounce St. Germain elderflower liqueur (a French liqueur created in 2007 flavored with elderflowers)
• 1 squirt of lemon bitters
• 4 ounces pear juice
• 1 cup crushed ice cubes
• Garnish: thinly cut pear slices, thinly sliced cucumbers

In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka, elderflower liqueur, lemon bitters, pear juice and crushed ice.  Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.  Pour into two cocktail or Martini glasses (I love my Nick and Nora glasses) and garnish the rim with pear slices and float three thin slices of cucumber on top.  Makes 2 drinks.
