Chill the glasses: for the best chilled martini, don’t forget to chill your glass! Fill each martini glass with ice and add water to fill to the top. Set them aside while preparing the cocktial.
In the cocktail shaker, combine pear vodka, elderflower liqueur, pear nectar/juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Add some ice to the shaker, close it tight, and shake vigorously for a few seconds.
Discard the ice water from the martini glasses and strain the shaken cocktail into each glass.
Garnish and serve!
Notes
For homemade simple syrup: all you need to do is combine 1 cup of white granulated sugar with 1 cup of hot (boiling) water. Stir the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool to room temperature and store in an air-tight container, in the refrigerator.
Sweetness: this is not a very sweet cocktail but if you don’t like your cocktails to be too sweet, start with 1/4 oz of simple syrup and taste it while still in the shaker. If you like the sweetness, keep it as is but if not, add another 1/4 oz of simple syrup.
