Pear-Rosemary TwistCocktail recipe
Rating
The Pear-Rosemary Twist is an aromatic and refreshing cocktail that perfectly balances the sweetness of pears with the distinctive, pungent flavor of rosemary. This drink features a homemade infusion of pear vodka, which brings a ripe and subtle fruitiness to the libation, while the house-made rosemary syrup lends a hint of herbal complexity.
Pear nectar enriches the cocktail with its velvety texture and enhances the pear profile, while tonic water adds a pleasant effervescence. Served in a pitcher glass, the Pear-Rosemary Twist is typically garnished with a sprig of rosemary, making it not only a delight to the palate but also an olfactory pleasure.
This cocktail is ideal for those who enjoy a fusion of fruit and herb flavors in their beverages.

Cocktail Colin says:
The Pear-Rosemary Twist is a striking symphony of aromatic pleasures, masterfully layering the lush, sweet notes of pear with the resonant, earthy tones of rosemary. This cocktail is a textural delight as well; the silky pear nectar interplays elegantly with the crispness of the tonic, creating a drink that's as refreshing as it is sophisticated.
