The French Pear Martini combines to great new spirits,
pear-infused vodka and
St. Germain. While each was available previously via homemade pear vodka and non-alcoholic
elderflower cordial, the recent additions to the commercial market make this cocktail easier than ever. This is an elegant, flavorful, very "springy" cocktail. Serving it in a cocktail glass is a little unusual considering
Champagne is added, but it's a nice touch and makes a stunning impression.

- 1 1/2 oz St. Germain liqueur
- 1 1/2 oz pear vodka
- Champagne
- super-fine sugar for rimming
Preparation:
- Rim a cocktail glass with super-fine sugar.
