Recipe Ingredients

See the recipe card for quantities.

Vodka: A smooth, quality vodka like Tito’s or Kettle One will work great for this recipe.
Prosecco: A great Prosecco I always have handy is Mionetto. Make sure you chill it for at least 2 hours before serving. Sparkling wine works great too.
Pear juice: For this recipe, I used bottled 100% pear juice. You don’t want a brand with added sugars. If you have a juicer or blender, you can use fresh pear juice.
Lemon juice: I always recommend fresh squeezed when mixing up cocktails.
Honey syrup: You can make this ahead of time with 1 part water and 1 part honey. Simple syrup, agave or maple syrup also work. Just adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Pumpkin pie spice: You can find pumpkin pie spice at your local grocer. Cinnamon also works!
Pear: Slice a few pieces for garnish, if desired
Cinnamon stick, star anise, rosemary: Use for garnish if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the Spiced Pear Vodka Cocktail without Prosecco?

Yes! Without the Prosecco it won’t be a sparkling cocktail anymore but it still will be a delicious and strong fall cocktail with the spiced pear notes. You can also substitute with sparkling water.

Can I batch the Spiced Pear Vodka Cocktail?

Yes, you can make a large batch of the cocktail ahead of time for a party or gathering. Just wait to top the pitcher with prosecco until you are ready to serve. You might want to leave out the garnish or make it sangria-style with the garnishes in the pitcher!

Can I use sparkling wine instead of prosecco?

Yes, you can use sparkling wine like Cava or Cremant instead of Prosecco. Especially if you prefer a slightly less sweet cocktail. If you do like the sweetness, Moscato is a beautiful alternative.
