Cinnamon Pear Margarita Cocktail Recipe
Let me tell you all about this delightful cocktail that combines the warm spice of cinnamon with sweet pear flavors. It's a fantastic drink for cozy nights or any fun gathering. 🍹
Equipment
- First, grab a shaker for mixing everything well.
- A jigger will help with measuring the ingredients accurately.
- I like using a strainer so that my cocktail is smooth and free of any pulp or seeds.
- You'll also need a cutting board and knife to slice up your garnishes.
- Finally, a short glass or tumbler is perfect for serving this lovely drink.
Ingredients
Here's what you'll need to make this cocktail taste just right:
- 1.5 oz of tequila
- 1 oz of pear juice
- 0.5 oz of lime juice
- 0.5 oz cinnamon syrup
- Ice cubes
- Pear slices for garnish
- Cinnamon stick to top it off
I like to use fresh pear juice for a more natural flavor, but bottled works too!
Instructions
First, add ice to your shaker to chill everything down.
- Pour in the tequila, then add pear juice and lime juice.
- Next, splash in the cinnamon syrup.
- Put the lid on the shaker and give it a good shake.
- Shake it until the outside feels cold, which usually takes about 15 seconds.
- Then, strain the mix into your glass filled with ice.
Top with a pear slice and cinnamon stick. Cheers! 🍐
Notes
Adjust the cinnamon syrup to your liking. More syrup means a sweeter drink. I like tasting my cocktail along the way and keeping my syrup on the lighter side for a refreshing sip.
If you want an extra kick, try using reposado tequila. It adds a smoky flavor. You can also try rimming your glass with ground cinnamon and sugar for an extra festive look! Do share your thoughts in the comments! 🍸
