Asian Pear Martini

Cheesecake Factory Asian Pear Martini

When making any martini, fill the glass with ice and water and let it sit while you mix up the drink in a shaker. A glass with a good chill on it is the first step to a great martini.

Tidbits
If you can’t find Torani Passion Fruit Syrup, you can use 1/2 ounce simple syrup and 1 ounce of passion fruit juice. For the pear nectar, I used Kern’s but any brand will work.
