Apple and Pear Cobbler – A Light, Crisp Fall Vodka Cocktail
Created by Boozy Movies and inspired by Brian's family, the Apple and Pear Cobbler combines pear vodka, apple brandy, fresh lemon juice, and apple butter. The pear vodka delivers a clean, fresh fruit flavor, while bright citrus keeps the cocktail light and lively. Apple butter introduces subtle warming spices and rounds out the drink without making it overly sweet or heavy. This easy Thanksgiving cocktail offers a refreshing contrast to rich holiday dishes while capturing the comforting flavors of autumn apples and pears.

-
Lemon Juice
5-6% acidity
Less acidic than lime juice, lemon juice will add enough acidity to brighten flavors without overpowering when balanced with sweetness. Usually our preference when needing acid to emulsify with egg white, aquafaba or cream.
-
Apple Butter
Intensely concentrated and sweetened tart apples resulting in a richly sweet, deep and toasted molasses flavor balanced by the tartness of the apple. Most apple butters are spiced with warming spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger and allspice contributing to its rich flavor without being cloying. Apple butter will also contribute a silkiness to the cocktail even when strained through a fine-mesh strainer, which is recommended.
