Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
Place a chilled martini/coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to ensure the drink stays cold.
- 2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Grey Goose La Poire, 0.75 oz triple sec, 1 oz cranberry juice, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup (if using).
- 3
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and well-chilled.
- 4
Prepare glass
If you used ice water to chill the glass, discard the ice/water now. Optionally, rub a lime wedge around the rim for extra aroma.
- 5
Double strain and serve
Double strain the cocktail into the chilled martini or coupe glass using both the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards for a smooth texture.
- 6
Garnish
Garnish with a thin pear slice on the rim or floated in the drink and/or a lime twist for aroma. Serve immediately.

Taste adjustment
If the cocktail tastes too tart, add an additional 0.25 oz simple syrup and briefly stir; if too sweet, squeeze a few drops more fresh lime juice and stir gently.
