Pear, like other fruit, can be added to alcoholic drinks in various forms. While fusing the fresh fruit into pear cocktails can be a tough task, drinks infusing the nectar, juice, or pear-flavored alcohols are relatively simpler to make. The nectar is slightly sweeter and thicker than pear juice; hence if you are planning to substitute the juice with nectar, just lower the quantity so that the cocktail remains mildly sweet. Welcome to a world of the novel pear drinks…

Top 5 Pear Cocktails

1. The Working-man’s Margarita

Prepared by mixing tequila and pear puree, this margarita gets more intoxicating with the fusion of triple sec. All you need to do is to shake 1.5 oz of 1800 Silver Tequila with ¼ oz each of pear puree and fresh lemon juice and ½ an ounce of triple sec. Strain into an ice-filled glass and serve garnished with a lemon wedge.

2. Orchard Temptation Cocktail

Made using sparkling wine, pear-flavored vodka, apple juice, and simple syrup, this slightly tangy, slightly sweet drink makes an adorable summer party cocktail. Being light in nature, it is ideal to be served for brunch parties as well.

3. Perfect Pear Margarita

Loaded with pear puree and tequila, the drink gets its visual appeal and flavor from the infusion of agave nectar. Delightfully tipsy and enchantingly sweet, this drink makes the perfect accompaniment for a classy romantic dinner.

4. The Embrace

Give the classic martini a new look in terms of flavor and appeal with the fusion of hibiscus syrup and pear nectar. The pink colored drink gets its alcoholic touch and the delicate color from the pink vodka added to it.

5. Pear Martini

A simple cocktail, it needs just two ingredients – the Stolichnaya vodka and pear liqueur. Just shake 2 parts of the vodka with 1 part pear liqueur. Transfer to a chilled cocktail glass loaded with crushed ice, garnish with a pear slice, and serve.
