PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR MARTINI - Pear Ginger Cocktail

PARTRIDGE in a PEAR MARTINI Cocktail Recipe

As I often do, I reformulated this recipe to adjust to my ever evolving preferences in a cocktail. I used to add pear puree but I decided I'd rather have a lighter, sparkling version. I also added a splash of pear brandy to deepen the pear experience.

Now I'm drinking very happy.

I added a pinch of fresh ginger for a little spicy kick but feel free to use a pinch of powdered ginger if you want, just be very judicious and don't use too much or you run the danger of the ginger overpowering the delicate pear.


Yes, it's a perfectly named martini for Christmas but I was actually thinking more of The Partridge Family because the pear garnish looked like their logo:

So, Come On, DRINK Happy at happy hour with my Partridge in a Pear Martini.
