The Pear-Devil

Be the first to rate this recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Bartlett Pear (very ripe - the softer the better)
  • 1 ounce Bombay Sapphire Gin
  • 2 ounces Ginger Beer
  • 3 drops of lemon juice
  • 1 splash Pear Juice

Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from the pear. Using a vegetable peeler, shave 1/2 of the pear in thin strips into the bottom of drink shaker. Muddle until well mushed.
  2. Add the gin, ginger beer, lemon juice, pear juice and ice. Swirl gently (there are bubbles in the ginger beer!) and strain into a serving glass. Honest to goodness I am drinking this out of a coffee mug right now but you may want to class it up a bit for company....... Drink (or serve if you're feeling generous) immediately.
  3. Note: There is also nothing wrong with simply putting all the ingredients in a glass, stirring and adding ice. The mushy pear strips are a nice little present at the bottom of the glass. I added the step about the straining as a nod to formality...but you're talking about a person who was fixing her drink in a coffee mug so really, what do you expect? Either way, I'm sure it will taste good!
