A Partridge in a Pear Tree

This is our absolute FAVORITE holiday recipe we've added to our Christmas cocktails over the years. She made her debut during our "12 Cocktails of Christmas" holiday content in 2022, and she's worth posting here for all to enjoy for years to come! Subtle, demure and seductive... this cocktail recipe is the perfect genteel cocktail when you want to do a dressed up and classy Christmas date or elegant party.

Ingredients

• 1 oz. Live Oak Vodka
• 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 oz pear liqueur (we used Mathilde Pear Liqueur)
• 1/2 oz vanilla syrup (we used Torani but you can easily make this at home with vanilla bean!)

Recipe

• Add to a shaker filled with ice, the Live Oak Vodka, lemon juice, pear liqueur and vanilla syrup
• Shake for 10-15 seconds until the shaker is cold
• Strain into a chilled coupe glass and garnish with a lemon peel or slice of pear if desired
