Friday Happy Hour: Absolut PearsPosted Mar 30th 2007 6:05PM by Joanne Lutynec Absolut Vodka has released their latest fruit-flavored libation, Absolut Pears. I'm planning to try it soon, so I thought I'd get warmed up for Happy Hour today by taking a look at a few of their recommended cocktails. Both recipes are from the Absolut Drinks website, where they have hundreds of self-created and user-submitted recipes for all of their flavored vodkas. Without further ado: Pears Garden 4 parts Absolut Pears 2 parts lemon juice 2 parts simple syrup 1 part black currant liqueur 2 parts cranberry juice Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled martini glass. Absolut Pears Sizzle 3 parts Absolut Pears 1 part Lime Juice Lemon-lime Soda Pear Mint leaves Fresh ginger Sugar Add ginger and fresh pears to a shaker glass and muddle with about a teaspoon of sugar into a paste (vary amount of ginger to how spicy guest likes it), then add Absolut Pears and lemon juice before shaking hard with ice, strain into glass. Top with soda and garnish with a sprig of mint and a slice of fresh pear. |
