Cocktail of the Week: Pear Martini

I always wonder what to do with pear vodka. And I always end up going back to the basics. A martini. I've posted one with lemon and rosemary before. Here's one with the nutty taste of Amaretto thrown in. (You might substitute Tuaca's vanilla flavors for the Amaretto if that's your preference.)

Pear Martini
Makes two cocktails

5 ounces pear vodka
1 ounce Amaretto
2 ounces simple syrup
1 ounce lemon juice

Shake in cocktail shaker with crushed ice and strain into two chilled martini glasses.

Cheers!

Killer. Add a slice of red pear and this coctail is the whip! 2 is my limit. :)
