Vanilla Pear Fizz Cocktail

Servings 2 cocktails

Ingredients

For the Pear Puree:

  • 1 large Anjou pear, peeled and cored
  • 3 tbs. sugar
  • 2 tbs. lemon juice
  • 1 vanilla bean pod
  • 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

For the cocktails:

  • 5 oz. pear puree
  • 5 oz. Black Box Spirits Vodka
  • 1/3 cup club soda

Instructions

For the Pear Puree:

  1. Chop your peeled and cored pear into small cubes. It does not have to be perfect. Slice your vanilla bean pod in half width-wise.

  2. In a small saucepan, stir together the chopped pear, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla bean pod. Cook over medium-high heat for 5-10 minutes, or until the pears have softened. 

  3. Remove from the heat, and pull out your vanilla pod halves. Slice them in half length-wise and scrape out the seeds with the back of your knife. Stir into the pear mixture, along with the vanilla extract. 

  4. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender, and blend until completely smooth, about a minute. Transfer to a bowl and let cool. 

For the cocktail:

  1. Add the pear puree and vodka to a shaker with ice. Gently shake 2-3 times. Divide evenly between two cocktail glasses with ice. Top with the club soda, using more or less as needed. Add a slice of a pear or lemon peel for garnish, and enjoy!
