Prickly Pear Martini Recipe

Spice up your life with this sophisticated Prickly Pear Martini! This recipe uses pear vodka (finally, a use for that giant bottle!), apple juice, and a touch of grenadine for a surprisingly complex and refreshing cocktail. Unlike other prickly pear recipes, this one skips the cranberry juice for a bolder, more intense flavor profile. Perfect for a sophisticated evening or a special occasion. Ice cold is key!
