What is a Martini?
Traditionally, a Martini is pretty darn simple: Gin mixed with Vermouth with a twist of lemon. However, it has grown to include Vodka recently, and with the expansion of flavored vodkas, there is now a martini for everything!
Enter: this Pear Martini Recipe! Now, this Pear Martini does not include Vermouth, but it does include vodka AND it’s served in a Martini glass, which seems to be the most important factor. 😉
What You’ll Need
This simple list of ingredients comes together to create the most refreshing cocktail!
- Grand Mariner and Grand Marinier - you’ll need just ½ ounce Grand Marnier and 1 ounce of Pear vodka
- Pear Nectar or Juice - adds even more pear flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness.
- Ice - shaken with the martini so it’s nice and cold.
- Garnishes - garnish your serving glass with pear slices and fresh thyme.
How to Make a Pear Martini
Place ice into a cocktail shaker, then add both alcohols. Shake to chill.
Strain the liqueur into a chilled martini glass, top off with pear juice, then garnish and serve!
Tips and Notes
- Use the good stuff. When it comes to a cocktail that has so few ingredients, the key is to get good quality ingredients. Trust me, you’ll notice the difference!
- Chill the glass. Chilling your serving glass before pouring the drink helps it stay cold longer.
- Strain out the ice. We don’t want a watered-down martini.
- If you prefer a sweeter martini, feel free to whip up some simple syrup and adding that to taste.
Substitutions
Swap out the regular pear for an Asian pear, French pear, or even Prickly pear for a fun twist!
Can I Store My Martini?
Fresh is definitely best, but yes. You can store the martini in the fridge if needed and use within a day.

I am definitely struggling these days. I thought that by reducing the number of times I post per week by half would help but somehow I feel more stressed than before! But you are right, when it comes down to it, experiences in life and the people you share them with take precedence.
