Description
Absolut Pears is a pear-flavored vodka made in Åhus, Sweden. It starts with vodka, distilled from local winter wheat and well water. The pear version first came out in 2007.
The flavor comes from natural ingredients, and there is no added sugar. That keeps it lighter than many flavored spirits. The US bottle is 40% ABV, or 80 proof.
Pour a glass and you get a clear, fresh scent of ripe pear. The taste is smooth and delicate, with mellow pear and a clean feel. A long, fruity finish follows, and the pear lingers.
This is easy to mix. Try a pear martini, a pear mule or a pear lemonade. A pear mojito is fun on a warm day too. For more ideas, browse our picks.
You can also keep it simple. Pour it over ice with soda water and a slice of fresh pear. Or add a squeeze of lemon and a little sugar syrup for a quick sour.
Serve it with light fruit desserts or a cheese plate. It is a fine bottle for anyone who loves fresh fruit flavor without heavy sweetness. It works just as well for a dinner party as for a quiet drink after work.
