Pear Delight
1 1/2 shots pear puree
1 1/2 shots vodka
sprig of thyme
one cube brown sugar
slice of lemon
Pear puree (prepare in advance): peel, seed and quarter two pears and cook them in a heavy-bottomed covered pan with 1/2 cinnamon stick, a small pinch of saffron, a tablespoon of honey and 3/4 cup water. When the pear is soft, remove the cinnamon stick and puree the mixture in a blender. Pass through a sieve and chill.
For the drink, fill a shaker with ice cubes, add the ingredients and shake well, pour the whole mixture in a tall cocktail glass and garnish with a spring of thyme.
