This week, Sunday Supper is hoping to help you identify some wonderful recipes for your last minute holiday entertaining.
Yes, that is my basil outside, as of early December. While I long for a white
Christmas, we usually don’t get much snow until at least February.
When hosting, I usually plan my menus and start prepping food well in advance. It didn’t come close to happening this year, but it’s not uncommon for me to have a good start on my holiday prep in early November. However, no matter how much I plan, I tend to forget about beverages. There’s always non-alcoholic drinks, beer, and wine, but sometimes it’s nice to have a little something extra. This recipe is easy enough to keep in your back pocket, and to make, one drink at a time.

Ingredients
- 1 oz. pear vodka
- 3 oz. pineapple juice
- 1 oz. cranberry juice
Instructions
-
Fill a rocks glass halfway with ice. Add vodka and pineapple juice. Stir. Top with cranberry juice and enjoy.

Oh, boy, does this sound wonderful. I think I even have a bottle of pear vodka that’s been gathering dust!
Yum! This sounds delicious and refreshing.
I’ve never seen pear vodka. Going to have to look for it so I can make this drink!
I have pear vodka in my cabinet so all I need are the juices and I’m ready to shake up this tasty cocktail. Cheers!
This is definitely a drink for the women in our family! They love all this stuff
This is perfect for us. Steve is the bartender in the family and mixes up a pitcher of drinks for any gathering. He prides himself on variety. He was so excited when I showed him this. We’ll have it for the holidays, I’m sure. Thanks so much!
Such a fun and festive cocktail! It looks wonderful!
I never tried pear vodka, very different!
This sounds dangerous!
It’s a very settled drink, not very sweet. Kinda bland tasting. But not terrible.
I’m sorry if you were disappointed in it. I’m surprised that you describe it as bland given all of the fruit juice. It’s definitely not an overly sweet drink, which is one of the things I liked about it.
I’m thirsty….I’m about to buy these ingredients..!! Lol. Any advice?!?!
Lol. Enjoy!
Can you try this with PEACH Vodka?
I’m sure you could but it would have a very different flavor. I’ve never had peach vodka so I’m unsure how the flavors would balance. If you try it, would like to hear what you thought of it!
I’m sure my family would LOVE this drink! As would I! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Whimsical Wednesdays Link Party. Have a wonderful week!
