FRENCH PEAR MARTINI
A favorite recipe of ours from About.com. We use Absolut pear as we found it worked better in this recipe than other pear vodkas we tried. St-Germain is an elderflower liqueur from France.

GINGERED PEAR MARTINI
I had a pear martini at a restaurant while visiting my brother over Thanksgiving. I've been trying to recreate it ever since I got home! This isn't it but it's my new go-to holiday libation. The ginger is my addition because I'd add ginger to almost anything. If you don't agree, sub vanilla vodka for the ginger liqueur and you'll have a yummy pear martini.
