Begin by preparing your cocktail glass. To create a sugar rim, take a lemon wedge and run it around the outer rim of the glass. This step helps the sugar adhere to the glass.

Pour a small amount of granulated sugar onto a small plate or saucer.

Gently dip the wetted rim of your cocktail glass into the sugar, twisting it slightly to ensure an even coating. Your glass now boasts a charming sugar rim.

Mix the Cocktail:

In a cocktail shaker, combine 1.5 oz of vodka, ½ oz of Cointreau, 1 oz of lemon juice, ¾ oz of pear juice, and ½ oz of ginger liqueur.

Add ice to the cocktail shake.

Secure the lid of the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. This process not only chills the mixture but also ensures that all the flavors meld together harmoniously.

Strain the cocktail into your prepared, sugar-rimmed glass. You can use a fine strainer or the built-in strainer on your cocktail shaker to prevent any ice shards from entering the glass.

To complete the presentation, garnish your Pear & Ginger Lemon Drop with a thin slice of fresh pear. This adds visual appeal and a subtle pear aroma to enhance the drinking experience.
