Spiced Pear Martini
Today’s post has been sponsored by Thatcher’s Organic but all thoughts and opinions are my own. We’re halfway through November and the holiday season is upon us! Many of us are preparing for upcoming gatherings with friends and family, and today’s recipe is perfect for the occasion! A fruity and festive spiced pear martini, made with fresh juicy pears, spiced simple syrup, Thatcher’s Organic small batch Vodka and Elderflower Liqueur. Similar to a French Pear Martini, but more suited for the holidays with the addition of the seasonal spices! Simply shake this holiday martini with ice and pour, for a refreshing beverage to enjoy all season long!
SPICED PEAR MARTINI
This spiced pear martini is made with pear juice, Thatcher’s organic vodka, elderflower liqueur and cinnamon and clove simple syrup! Shaken over ice and served in martini glasses with a fresh pear garnish.
What makes this martini so tasty is the clove and cinnamon simple syrup. It enhances the flavors of the pear martini giving off cozy vibes, perfect for toasting over dinner or sipping near the fire on a chilly night! The elderflower also has similar notes to pear which goes well with the organic juice, fresh lemon and vodka.
Quality spirits makes all the difference in the overall taste of a beverage. One of the many reasons I prefer using Thatcher’s Organic products. Learn more below!

I don’t know if anyone reads these, but I felt like 1.5oz of lemon juice was too much. It took over the taste, imo. I found that 0.5oz was better. Otherwise a tasty recipe that I’ll keep making.
Thanks for the feedback and for trying the recipe! I’m glad you enjoyed with the modifications. Cheers!
