Spiced Vanilla Pear Vodka Fizz
It’s time to infuse some fall spice into your life!! We are off to a running head start and commencing the season with this fancy Spiced Vanilla Pear Vodka Fizz and these Easy Pumpkin Spiced Donuts. Just look how pretty!
This heart-warming pear cocktail perfectly pairs vanilla, spices, and prosecco, while the pear adds a delicious depth of fall flavor. Slightly bubbly with a splash of lemon adds a refreshing tart taste. Garnish with cinnamon, rosemary, a slice of pear, and a star anise for a glamorous exotic feel!
An Elegant Touch
We have garnished the rim with glimmering vanilla bean sugar for an elegant touch. It couples nicely with the vanilla vodka and spices in this festive flavored pear cocktail. This step is of course optional. If you decide not to rim the glass, you will still capture all the sweetness and taste it has to offer. This drink stands alone!
To make the sugar rim –
Combine a 1/2 cup of sugar and seeds of 1 vanilla bean in a medium bowl. Then you will rub the vanilla beans into the sugar using your fingers until thoroughly combined. Transfer sugar to a small plate for dipping.
Buon Appetito!!
Tips For Sips
- Make sure that your pear is ripe and soft. If your pear is hard, it wont have as much sweetness and it wont blend up very well. You will be left with hard chunks in the puree. No Bueno!
- You do not have to refrigerate the pear puree. You can serve right away without refrigeration- it just won’t be chilled. I prefer not to add ice to this cocktail as I feel it takes away from the feel and taste of the drink.
- This drink can be substituted with regular vodka. I would just add another teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Make sure to chill your bottle of Prosecco beforehand.
