Cocktail Recipes For the Latest Trend in Flavored Vodka

In early 2007, Absolut Vodka introduced new Absolut Pears, a premium pear flavored vodka - the first of its kind.

Keeping with Absolut's traditional methods, Absolut Pears is made from all natural ingredients, and has no added sugar or sweetener. According to aficionados, what it does have is a light, delicate pear flavor that is a perfect addition to fruity cocktails.

Pear Martini

Combine ingredients in a shaker over ice. Shake, and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime wheel. (A pair slice would almost make a nice garnish, but not likely to be found in most garnish bins!)

Mang-ito

Muddle the mint and mango cubes in a mixing glass. Add vodka and ginger juice, then shake. Pour into a highball glass, and top with pineapple juice and sweetened ice tea.

Lucky Floridians can find locally grown mangoes, maturing in June and July. Choose a mango with smooth skin with no holes or signs of bruising - yummy! In Miami, you can find the Mang-ito at Setai, a super-deluxe hotel in South Beach.

Very Peary Breeze

Fill a highball glass to the rim with ice cubes. Pour the vodka over ice, and top off with apple juice and cranberry juice. Garnish with a lime wedge.

Pear Melon

Combine all ingredients in a shaker filled with ice cubes and shake until very cold. Strain into a chilled highball glass. Serve garnished with a lime wedge.

Pear Sizzle

Fill a highball glass to the rim with ice cubes. Pour pear vodka and lime juice into a shaker. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake until very cold, straining into the highball glass. Top off with lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a mint leaf and a pear slice.

Chocolate Pear Martini

Combine pear vodka, chocolate liqueur and cream in a shaker filled with ice cubes, and shake until very cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a chocolate curl.
