This Delicious Pear Martini recipe is loaded with fresh pear goodness! Your guests (and you!) will love this cocktail full of fall flavor.
Yep, you read that right. A pear martini!
This fruity libation is so refreshing, you might be tempted to make this your pathway to getting the recommended five fruit servings a day. But, we wouldn’t encourage that *ahem*
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:
Pour all the ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake it up well!
Strain the goodness into a classic martini glass.
Add three thinly sliced and fanned pears onto the rim and enjoy!
Here is the recipe for ya!

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.
