# How to Make It:
01 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped Bartlet pears, organic sugar, water, and vanilla syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid turns amber and pears break down.
02 -
Remove saucepan from heat. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a container, pressing solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard pear solids or reserve for other uses. Allow syrup to cool to room temperature.
03 -
Pour water onto a shallow plate and a mixture of sugar with vanilla bean powder on another plate. Dip the rim of an 240 ml glass into water, then coat in vanilla sugar mixture. Allow coated glass to rest for at least 5 minutes to set.
04 -
Add 45 ml gin and 30 ml cooled pear vanilla syrup to a sugar-rimmed glass. Whisk together, then add 180 ml soda water. Top generously with crushed ice. Stir gently to combine before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Strained pear solids may be used as a topping for desserts or blended into the cocktail for intensified flavor.
02 -
The syrup can be refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 1 month.
03 -
Torani or similar vanilla syrups are suitable alternatives.
