Our Ginger Pear Martini marries the tastes of spicy, crisp ginger and smooth, sweet pear. After lots of searching for a ginger vodka which had a ginger-forward but not sweet taste, we tried and succeeded in producing our own. Unlike most commercial brands we do not add any sugar, making it ideal to mix with liqueurs and other sweet spirits or to be enjoyed chilled and neat. A Ginger Pear Martini is a lovely accompaniment to Tuna Tapenade prior to dinner, the spicy sweet cocktail acting as a delightful foil for the rich appetizer. The crystallized ginger will absorb some of the cocktail and become a soft, besotted candy treat to be enjoyed once the drink has been consumed… time for another Ginger Pear Martini.
Total Time: 5 minutes. Serves 2.
