1
Prepare the Pears
Wash and peel the pears. Remove the seeds and cut them into quarters.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass jar, combine the quartered pears and vodka. Ensure the pears are fully submerged in the vodka.

3
Infuse the Mixture
Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to mix the contents.
4
Check for Flavor
After 2 weeks, taste the infusion to see if the flavor is strong enough. If not, allow it to infuse for up to 4 weeks.

5
Make the Simple Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium until the sugar is completely dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool.
6
Combine with Infused Vodka
Once the infusion is ready, strain the pear mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bottle, discarding the solids. Add the cooled simple syrup, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the strained liquid.

7
Bottle the Pear-cello
Pour the Pear-cello into clean glass bottles and seal tightly. Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
8
Serve Chilled
Serve chilled in small glasses as a delightful after-dinner drink.
