Even if you have never liked the classic Martini, this Cinnamon Pear Martini might become your new favorite Autumn cocktail. There is no gin or Vermouth anywhere near this Martini. Rather, it is made from a delightful combination of Vodka, Pear Nectar, and seasonal spices.
This cocktail is right at home when the weather begins to cool.
Enjoy a delicious Cinnamon Pear Martini anytime!
Pears are technically a summer fruit. Like peaches and apples, however, they have such a rich depth of flavor that they can easily work in the Autumn and Winter, too – particularly when you involve delicious seasonal spices.
I also love the look of the Cinnamon Pear Martini. When garnished with a cinnamon stick and a star anise pod, it looks so classy and festive.
This is the kind of drink that makes every occasion a party. After all, it’s not every day that you get to enjoy some cocktails with star anise and a fresh cinnamon stick in some yummy pear nectar.
Just home from school shopping? Celebrate with some pears and vodka!
Finished your holiday shopping? Time for a cocktail!

Serving for the holidays
Serving the Cinnamon Pear Martini is perfect to serve for Thanksgiving. You can enjoy it anytime, but the flavor profile just really works as a delicious drink to serve for your Thanksgiving meal.
It tastes delicious served opposite turkey, but where it really shines is to serve it with your appetizers. We particularly like how the flavors mix with a good goat cheese log on a cheeseboard.
It’s not a traditional aperitif, but I find that it’s really quite delicious. It is one of my favorite vodka based holiday cocktails. And it’s perfect to serve alongside an apple martini too.
You can make it by the pitcher and even serve it bar style where you have either a large pitcher or even a beverage dispenser filled with the drink.
Then, you can have cinnamon sticks, star anise, and your bitters on the side so that everyone can spice their martini as much as they like.
