I just spent a fun and educational weekend at Bloggy Bootcamp in San Francisco. After the conference, we had a fun time at Club Slide where Igor the Bartender from Russia concocted a special drink called the Siberian Slipper. One lady described the taste as a watermelon jolly rancher but not as sweet. I have to disagree with that description, but to each their own. For me, I could really taste the pear from the pear vodka and another flavor that I couldn’t quite put my finger on…turned out to be Elderberry from the liqueur St. Germain. Regardless, it was a hit with everyone in attendance and made for a very pretty ‘martini’ drink as well. Here’s the lo-down on how to make it (sorry, I didn’t get exact measurements, so you’ll have to experiment on your own):
Ingredients:
Pear Vodka (Grey Goose Poire was used in ours)
Juice of 2 wedges of lime
St. Germain
Instructions:
Chill martini glass with ice. In a cocktail shaker shake the pear vodka and St. Germain. Empty ice out of martini glass, pour in contents of shaker, squeeze the juice of 2 wedges of lime into martini glass. Garnish with a lime.
