Pear Simple Syrup
- In a small saucepan, combine the water, maple syrup, diced pear and cinnamon stick and bring to a soft boil. Reduce to simmer for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 15 minutes.

Martini
- Combine vodka, brandy, pear simple syrup and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake for 20 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a pear slice.
Notes
- Use pear vodka if you want even more pear flavor.
- Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a bright and zesty citrus kick. It adds a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the pears.
- Place the martini glass in the freezer for an hour so it keeps your martini chilled.
- Garnishes like a thin pear slice, lemon twist, or a cinnamon stick can enhance both the visual appeal and flavor of your martini.
