Simple Fall Recipe with Cranberry and Pear
My go-to drink order is a vodka cranberry. I love the simple-ness of it, how it is tart and not too sweet, and it is hard to mess up. So to play on this recipe for fall I decided to add the flavor of pears. (Plus, we have a plethora of pears this week in our grocery order! I thought I was ordering individual pears when in fact I was ordering bags. Oops.)
The problem was, we have no pear infused vodka. It is so easy to make! Add sliced fruit of your choice to a sealable jar like this one, put a few cups of vodka and let it sit for about an hour at least, overnight in the refrigerator is better. This will keep for up to a week in the fridge.

Making this drink is so easy that you have no excuse to not try it! Take your pear infused vodka, cranberry juice, and lime juice and shake together (seal the lid first). 🙂 Pour into jar with ice, use extra pear and lime slices as a garnish. Add frozen cranberries to the glass because they are pretty. Enjoy!
