St. Germaine and Pear Martini

This cocktail uses one of my favorite liqueurs, St. Germaine. This tasty treat is made from freshly handpicked elderflower blossoms in France. The taste is flowery, delicate, and refreshing. It is thick and syrupy and perfect for a summer cocktail. Mix it with pear vodka, a little lime and don't look back.

On a side note, I wish my job was to pick elderflower blossoms in France. Then eat and drink all day. But instead I live in San Antonio where it is one zillion degrees and will be until December. Thank goodness I live so close to the liquor store.

Here is what you need:

2 oz. Pear Vodka
1 1/2 oz. St. Germaine
Squeeze of lime

Shake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass with sugared rim.

To turn this into a French Pear Martini serve in a brandy or wine glass and top with champagne.

I love these martini glasses! They keep your martini perfectly chilled while you eat and talk about people. You can get some like them here.


I'll be sharing lots of martini recipes. Lots. Cause I like them. Lots.
