Cinnamon Pear Liqueur image

This is an infused, sweetened vodka perfect for the fall or winter holidays. If you've never infused vodka, this is a good start because everything starts (and stops) infusing at once: just dump everything in a jar and (with daily stirring) forget about it for 4-7 days until it's magically delicious. Strain and gift in a pretty bottle for a simple, much-appreciated gift. Good for sipping after dinner, but we like a cocktail including this, a splash of real pear juice, club soda, and a squeeze of lime.

Time P5DT10m

Yield 1 liter, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pears, cored and chopped
1 cup white sugar
1 -2 cinnamon stick
10 -20 whole cloves
750 ml vodka (midgrade is fine)

Steps:

  • Place the pears, sugar, and spices in a large glass container with a lid such as a quart-sized mason jar.
  • Add the vodka slowly, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once it is mostly dissolved, add as much of the vodka as will fit.
  • Close the lid and place your vodka infusion in a dark, cool place (like a kitchen cabinet away from the stove) for 4-7 days, stirring once a day. Taste test your infusion on day 4--if it tastes good to you, it's done! If you'd like a stronger flavor, keep infusing for several more days. Once infused to your liking, strain out the fruit and spices. It's ready for drinking!
