On the first day of Christmas my true love made with me, a Partridge in a Pear-tini. My husband and I like to experiment with new flavors for cocktails and came up with this festive holiday drink. All the seasonal flavors of winter like citrus, pears and almonds come through as you smell and then sip our pear martini. The chipotle sugar rim adds a hint of heat that “pears” nicely with the clean fruit flavors. The rosemary sprig represents the partridge tail and teases the senses with each sip. So much going on, just like the holidays, but with a calmer satisfaction! Happy Holidays!
Partridge in a Peartini Ingredients:
- 4 oz Citrus Vodka
- 1/4 oz Orgeat
- 3 oz Pear Nectar
- 1 oz Fresh Lemon juice
- 1/8 tsp Chipotle Powder
- 2 tbs Sugar
- 2 Rosemary Sprigs
Directions:
Mix the chipotle and sugar together and pour onto a small dish. Run a lemon wedge around half of the rim of 2 martini glasses. Dip the rim in the chipotle sugar and set aside. Adjust the amount of chipotle based on how spicy you want the rim. A little heat in the sugar is what you are looking for.
Pour the vodka, Orgeat, pear nectar and lemon juice into a shaker can filled with ice and shake until very cold. Strain into the rimmed martini glasses and garnish with rosemary sprig.
