Peachy Pear Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• Put the Honey Simple Syrup, lemon juice and peppercorns in a cocktail tin and muddle. Add the pear brandy, pear puree and large ice, shake vigorously and double-strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with ground pink peppercorns and serve.
• Combine the honey and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until the honey dissolves. Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Keep covered in the refrigerator up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Make the candied bacon: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Toss the bacon in a bowl with the brown sugar and place on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet so the fat drips down. Bake until it's as crisp as you'd like, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
• Make the cocktail: Combine the rum, pear nectar, lemon juice, bitters and salt in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and pour into a lowball glass. Garnish with a slice of candied bacon.

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, stir together the nectars, seltzer, vodka and schnapps, if using. Pour over ice-filled glasses and garnish with slices of peach or pear if desired.

Steps:

• Pour the brandy, lemon juice, simple syrup, and pear nectar into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into a chilled martini glass to serve.
