A Pear Vodka Cocktail full of fresh flavors, perfect for a summer day or a fall sip. Make this tasty and bright cocktail soon!

I think most people associate pears just with fall and winter. This is likely because a lot of pears are associated with winter flavors. But, pears are actually an all year round fruit. So, with that inspiration in mind, we wanted to make this pear cocktail that would work all year long!

Instead of apple cider, ripe pears are a great winter option for holiday gatherings. And we could have made a pear cosmo, pear Moscow mules or other pear vodka drinks, this winter cocktail with some extra flavors fit the bill. Try our Pink Pear cocktail made with delicious pear nectar, too!

Also, something about the heaping of crushed ice in this cocktail makes for a great summer sipper. This Pear Crisp Cocktail has extra flavors with a dash of vanilla liqueur, green chartreuse, and interesting bitters to round it out!

Ingredients Needed for the Pear Vodka Cocktail

Pear Vodka – all kinds of pear flavors in this cocktail. There is Absolut pear vodka, Belvedere pear vodka or Breckenridge pear vodka that we know of. There may be more brands of pear infused vodka available to you.
Licor 43 – a Spanish liqueur which has the flavors of citrus and vanilla bean. There is even a little cocoa and finishes with a rum like warmth. This adds sweet and spice to the cocktail.
Pear Simple Syrup – make an easy homemade pear simple syrup that will bring so much flavor to this pear cocktail!
Green Chartreuse – this green liqueur is herbal and rich. This gave some winter spices, but yet some earthiness that the drink needed. Try it in a Champs Elysees or Lumiere cocktail, too!
Lemon Juice – this helps give the pear vodka cocktail a tart bite. Remember fresh squeezed lemon juice is best!
Bitters – You have heard us say it before that Bitters are the salt and pepper of the cocktail world. In this pear vodka cocktail we used 2 different bitters to add even more flavors to the drink. The first we used was Angostura bitters that we are sure you have heard of. It adds slight bitterness to any cocktail. We also used Molasses bitters that gave a richness and a bit of sweetness because we still felt it needed some “dessert” flavor.

How to Make the Pear Vodka Cocktail

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.

Shake and strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice cubes.

Garnish as you would like, in this case we used a large slice of pear. Some other options are listed below.

Tips & Tricks

Garnish – we used a whole pear slice, but a pear wedge or fresh pear slice on the rim of the glass, or pear slices on a cocktail pick fanned out. Other suggestions could be cinnamon sticks, star anise, allspice berries are also an easy idea.
Glassware – like we suggested above, we used a rocks glass in this recipe. You could also use a highball glass and serve with a straw if desired.
Spritz – if you are wanting this to be a lighter cocktail, do so and make this a sparkling pear vodka cocktail! Some suggestions on bubbles to add after you shake the cocktail are ginger beer, club soda or soda water and tonic water. You could also use lemon-lime soda, but this may make the drink too sweet.

We hope you try this Pear drink any time of the year, it’s a great flavor and an all year round sipper!

Cheers!
