Still playing around with last night's pear puree, so I turned to my last few drops of Core vodka, figuring the apples and pears would play nicely together. Core is distilled from 100% Hudson Valley apples - we picked up a small bottle when we were there in September. I'm not generally a vodka enthusiast, but Core is a great product. It's a little hot, but wonderfully viscous and somehow tastes more like caramel apples than fresh fruit.
Spiced Pear Martini
Shake and strain:
3 oz. Core Vodka
1 oz. Martini and Rossi Biano Vermouth
1/2 oz. spiced pear puree
Good drink - the caramel flavors in the vodka works well with the spices in the puree. A touch of acid and maybe some Peychaud's bitters next time, but definitely something worth making again in the fall or winter.
