Time P14D

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 to 8 small firm pears, such as Seckel
4 cups vodka
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
12 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
1 1/2 cups pear nectar (12 ounces), chilled
4 cups sparkling water, chilled
Ice cubes

Steps:

  • Place enough pears in a 56-ounce glass jar to fill to the top. Add vodka. Seal jar, and let stand at room temperature for at least 2 weeks. Strain vodka, and discard pears.
  • Heat sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Add rosemary. Remove from heat, and let stand for 30 minutes. Discard rosemary. Let cool completely.
  • Combine vodka, rosemary simple syrup, pear nectar, and sparkling water in a large pitcher. Divide among 8 ice-filled glasses, and garnish each with a rosemary sprig. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pears: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy pears. Avoid pears that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes. Use ripe, flavorful pears and choose aromatic rosemary sprigs for the best flavor.
  • Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary has a more intense flavor than dried rosemary. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead.
  • Infuse the simple syrup with rosemary: To make the rosemary simple syrup, simply simmer rosemary sprigs in sugar and water until the sugar has dissolved. This will infuse the syrup with the flavor of rosemary.
  • Chill the pear puree: Before making the cocktails, chill the pear puree in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the cocktails stay cold and refreshing.
  • Garnish with a pear slice and a rosemary sprig: For a finishing touch, garnish your cocktails with a pear slice and a rosemary sprig.
