Breckenridge Pear is a Colorado vodka flavored with fresh pear brandy made from fruit grown on Colorado's Western Slope, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Breckenridge Distillery sits high in the Colorado Rockies in the ski town of Breckenridge, and it looks forward to the Western Slope's summer harvest, which produces some of the nation's finest fruit. Pear vodka was created at the request of the distillery's favorite bartenders, who had a niche to fill.
Rather than relying on flavorings alone, Breckenridge uses fresh pear brandy as the flavor base of this vodka, which gives it the honest taste of fully ripe fruit.
Fully ripe pears fill the palate, with a soft, juicy sweetness, and the finish is clean and sweet.
Breckenridge Pear is perfect for classic cocktails. Stir a pear Martini with a splash of elderflower liqueur, mix a Moscow Mule with ginger beer and lime, or top it with sparkling wine for an easy pear spritz. It is lovely with soda water and a slice of fresh pear, or with iced tea and lemon on a summer afternoon. In the fall, add it to hot spiced cider or a pear and cinnamon punch. Pair it with blue cheese, prosciutto, arugula salad with pears and walnuts, or a slice of almond tart. For anyone who loves Colorado craft spirits and fresh fruit flavors, it is a bright, versatile bottle to keep on the home bar and a fine gift. Keep it chilled so the pear stays fresh and juicy in every pour.
