This is one of my favorite blue martinis that I created when experimenting with some of the new pear-infused vodkas. There are two different flavors that are possible with this drink, depending on the gin that you choose. For a light, refreshing Dafne Martini I prefer the aromatics of Bombay Sapphire, but also enjoy fruitier gins like Tanqueray Rangpur. Boodles, Bulldog and Martin Miller's take this drink to the drier side, it's all a matter of what you're in the mood for at the time.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz gin
- 1 1/2 oz pear vodka
