5 Drinks to Make with Absolut Pears

Check you out with your bottle of Absolut Pears – nice choice!

You probably don’t need us to tell you that Absolut Pears is our delicious pear-flavored vodka. Its taste is reminiscent of soft poached pears, spiced up with hints of vanilla and butterscotch. Mmm, mmm!

So, you’re probably wondering, “What cocktails can I make with Absolut Pears?” We’re glad you asked! Well, just like the rest of our Absolut flavored vodkas, Absolut Pears unlocks a whole world of cocktails possibilities, from martinis and shots to mules and highballs!

Here are five delicious, easy-to-make drinks with Absolut Pears to get you started!

1. Absolut Pears Martini

The Pears Martini is a fresh fruit martini made with Absolut Pears, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup and pear purée. Shaken with ice and double strained into a martini glass, it’s one of those perfect drinks to sip.

“Sweet yet balanced. Candy-ish, because of that pear flavor. It’s a sublime drink – a showstopper for any dinner party,” shares Rico ‘Ricardo’ Dynan, Bartender and Absolut Global Brand Ambassador. Check out our Absolut Pears Martini recipe.

2. Absolut Pears Mule

A classic Moscow Mule is one of the most popular cocktails in the world. Made with original Absolut Vodka, ginger beer and fresh lime juice, these three ingredients have given the drink legendary status.

But when you swap the original Absolut for Absolut Pears, you’ve got a whole other drink. “It’s an upscale mule. It’s like turning up your mule up to 11. I mean, the Moscow Mule is already a fantastic drink but with Absolut Pears, it’s even better!” says Rico.

3. Absolut Pears & Thyme Highball

This is one of the easiest drinks to make but don’t underestimate its appeal! Pear and thyme work incredibly well together, creating a sophisticated, balanced flavor profile that blends gentle sweetness with earthy, herbal note.

To make the Absolut Pears & Thyme Highball, fill a highball glass with ice cubes, then measure and pour in Absolut Pears and up with soda water. Give it a stir, then garnish with a sprig of thyme.  Just wait until you serve one of these at your next party!

4. Absolut Pears 75

Not only is this a twist on the gin classic the French 75, but also a twist on a French 76, which is essentially French 75 made with vodka. Still with us?

The Absolut Pears 75 mixes 1 part Absolut Pears, half-a-part fresh lemon juice, and half-a-part vanilla syrup. It’s then shaken with ice and strained into a champagne flute and topped crisp, dry and bubbly champagne and garnished with brûléed pear slices.

This is a perfect cocktail to serve at New Year’s Eve, dinner parties during the fall or birthday parties at any time of year.

The Absolut Pear Drop shakes up Absolut Pears, lemon juice, and simple syrup, and is then served in a sugar-rimmed shot glass and garnished with a pear slice. It’s a pear-fect shot!
