Recipe Ingredients

See the recipe card for quantities.

Pear Vodka: There are several pear vodka options available. Vodka is the main ingredient in a martini, so, I chose Grey Goose La Poire, it is a higher quality vodka.
Elderflower Liqueur: Again, there are many options out there but I decided to use one of my go-tos St. Germain.
Lemon juice: Always use fresh-squeezed lemon juice. Look for bright yellow and firm lemons at the store.
Pear slice: Use for garnish as desired.
Fresh thyme: Use for garnish as desired.

Store your vodka in the freezer for a crisp martini.
Use a chilled martini glass.
