15 Perfectly Pear Cocktails for Cool Crisp Days

1. Brûléed Pear Cocktail

Quite possibly the best thing about this tasty cocktail is the fact that it’s served with a BURNT SUGAR pear slice in it. If that doesn’t scream holiday season I don’t know what does.

4. Fizzy Pear and Elderflower Martini

while many pear cocktails tend to go for bold spicy flavors, this fizzy pear and elderflower martini opts to take a lighter approach. Pear vodka, elderflower liquor and sparkling wine form the base of this punchy martini, and a green sugar rim rounds out the presentation perfectly.
