pear & st germaine sparkler

• pear puree (or make your own, directions below below below)

• st germaine

• prosecco or champagne

dabble a bit of pear puree on the bottom of a champagne glass
pour in a 1/4 ounce of st germaine or enough to fill a third of the glass
top off with the bottle of sparkling of your choice.

These are the kind of drinks that make me believe that one day when I'm a mother, mixing up some unfinished babyfood with some booze...may actually be a great idea.


Hey Lady! How do I make pear puree?
it's easy.
peel your pears and you may steam, boil or microwave (cringe!) them.
mush them up in a blender with some of the leftover water from any of these approaches and there you have your very own pear puree. add sugar, honey, ginger, lemon, agave, whatever it is you like the most.

But! If you read the previous post and are fancy- may I suggest poaching them peeled pears in some water and lemon juice for about 10 minutes. Bring to a boil and then let the pears simmer. throw in an orange rind if you are feeling like it. You may even experiment poaching with red wine, white wine...fun fun fun, fancy fun. make sure you save one of them pears to eat with some type of moldy cheese& nuts.....yum yum yum.
