Pear-Rosemary Vodka Cocktails image

Making homemade flavored vodka takes only a little effort but produces impressive results. The pear-spiked liquor can be stored at room temperature for up to two months, but needs at least two weeks to infuse the fruit's flavor, so plan ahead.

This is a great cocktail to make ahead of time. It's even better after it's had a chance to chill in the fridge for a few hours.

I'm not a big fan of pear, but this cocktail was surprisingly good! The rosemary really balances out the sweetness of the pear.

I substituted honey syrup for the simple syrup and it turned out great! The honey added a nice depth of flavor.
