It’s also the perfect drink to serve your friends while winding down summer with long, cool evenings. We used fresh, ripe Bartlett pears and pear infused vodka, along with a surprising ingredient (see recipe below) to achieve the ultimate adult refreshment.

Here’s what you need to make a pear martini:

A cocktail shaker & ice

Pear flavored or infused vodka

Sweet or semi-sweet Riesling wine (from California of course)

Three thin slices of pear for garnish

the surprise ingredient!

The surprise ingredient in this Pear Martini is: pear puree!

You can make your own easy (and delicious!) pear puree with our recipe, or just blend up some jarred California pears if you’re short on time! Pear nectar will work in a pinch too.

Let’s make that Pear Martini:

Pouring vodka in cocktail shaker over ice

Pour all the ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake it up well!

Pour drink over ice from cocktail shaker

Strain the goodness into a classic martini glass.

Berry Pear Cobbler

Berry Pear Cobbler

When Gold Rush era settlers flocked to the state in the mid-1800’s, they brought many different types of fruit trees along with them, including Bartlett pears. They soon discovered that pears flourished in California’s fertile soil.  In fact, a quarter of all pears grown in the United States come from the Golden State. These sweet summer pears are the perfect match for juicy, tart berries in this Berry Pear Cobbler from our friend Becky Sue at Baking the Goods.
