Over crushed ice
1/2 ounce of Absolut Pear Vodka

Recipe #2
In a martini glass...chill martini glass while mixing
(for chilling glasses see Hints Home Bars #3 posted below)
Mix in cocktail shaker with ice
1 ounce of Absolut Pear Vodka
2 ounces of Cranberry Juice (no Sparkling here)
Strain into a beautiful Martini glass
Garnish with twist of lime or be creative!
*cut a tiny wedge of a firm pear, cut a length of lime peel, and spear both on a toothpick
*take two or three cranberries and spear on a toothpick
Have fun!
While this drink is great for any occasion consider it for a festive celebration, e.g. News Years' Eve party, Christmas, a winter birthday.
FEBRUARY
Arctic Bomba
**invented by Bartend-Her
1 ounce of Yukon Jack Canadian whiskey
1/2 ounce of Bacardi 151 rum
Pour the Yukon Jack into a cordial/liqueur glass or large shot glass
Top with the Bacardi 151
Though this was invented on an icy, cold day in the Ozarks, the inspiration came from the adventure of traveling north above the Arctic Circle, rafting an improbably named river called the Hulahula. Yukon Jack is the drink of the north country, and warms you inside down to your toes. The Hulahula indicates warmth and sunshine, thus topping the drink off with 151 rum adds a touch of sunshine. La Bomba! A perfect drink after you've finished the chocolate-covered strawberries!
