It’s not uncommon for a martini to contain fruity flavors, but it is unusual for a martini to be both fruity and a dessert drink. Not only is it fruity and sweet, it’s a little herbaceous due the bit of rosemary simple syrup it contains. This drink is perfect for the holidays.

- 1 measure salted caramel vodka
- 1 1/2 measures pear nectar
- 3/4 measure rosemary simple syrup
- 1/2 measure lemon juice

- Add the rest of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well
