In the mix:
2 oz. Triple Eight vodka infused with pear
1 oz. St. Germain Elderflower liqueur
Splash of lemon juice
Splash of champagne
Shaken and strained into a martini glass, garnished with pear slices

"The pear's a great winter fruit," says bartender Dave Werthman, "but the drink tastes like the opposite of cold."

Fun fact: The ancient Chinese believed the pear was a symbol of immortality.

Bottom line: A seasonal take on the always classic martini.
