No party is complete without a signature cocktail! This Ginger Pear Martini recipe is one irresistible sipper!
Raise your hand if you like to try new drinks.
I love to try new cocktails, but they can't be too sweet, too strong, include anything coconut flavored....or be blue in color.
I know, I'm high maintenance, but I blame it on Kevin. When you have a husband who is a master mixologist, it's hard to find drinks that measure up to his standard. Kevin pours a good martini.
And this Ginger-Pear Martini recipe is one of the best we have. It's still one of our most popular cocktails!
Why this recipe works
It checks a lot of boxes. It is smooth, crisp and refreshing. And not too sweet. In my eyes, that makes a perfect cocktail.
Ingredients
The list is short so make sure your ingredients are the best!

Lacking a ginger liqueur, do you think using a ginger infused simple syrup might work?
Absolutely! I would omit the plain simple syrup if you are making that substitution or do 1/2 ounce ginger simple syrup and 1/2 ounce plain. Let me know how it turns out!
I stumbled upon this recipe and made it tonight for date night. Wow! It is so good! I love ginger and have been trying to find a drink that isn’t a Moscow mule with ginger in it, but not overwhelmingly ginger and here it is. This may be my new go to drink. Thanks for sharing!
It's one of our favorites! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being a Garnish with Lemon reader!
