There’s something magical about bubbles – they always bring a smile to your face and lift your spirit. They’re enchanting even when mixed in co*cktails.
Take this seasonal Pear Bellini. A mixture of pure pear juice and Poire William, topped with a lively bubbly, this is a co*cktail that’s easy to make, and even easier to drink. Plus it fairly screams Holiday Party… Cin-cin!
Pear Bellini
serves 4
active time: 10 min
- 1/2 ripe red Bartlett pear – cut in 1/4″ slices
- 3 oz (90 ml) unsweetened pure pear juice
- 3/4 oz (20 ml) Poire William (or grappa)
- 1/2 bottle Champagne or sparkling wine
- Place one pear slice in each Champagne flute. Shake pear juice and Poire William with large ice cubes. Pour in equal measure into the four champagne flutes. Top with Champagne or sparkling wine and serve immediately.

Viviane, I used to get a magazine called “Victoria” which I believe is no longer in publication. I used to look forward to that magazine every month. It both inspired and excited me. Your emails are in the same category — I really look forward to hearing from you and get such inspiration from your recipes and the wonderful photos. Thanks so much!!! Karen

Other than the pear juice, everything is in stock so this will be the prefect way to toast my good US friends from across the pond. Of course, we don’t widely celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK, but a prompt to occasionally be thankful for all the good people and things in life is very healthy.
Thank you Viviane for the regular reminders that despite the frantic pace of life, time spent preparing and enjoying real food with friends and family is never wasted.-

Peter, Your comment is so lovely and so inspiring… Indeed, being thankful for all the wonderful people and things in our lives is a very good thing. I didn’t grow up celebrating Thanksgiving, but wholeheartedly embraced the holiday when I moved to the US. I give thanks to you for stopping by and taking the time to write… Enjoy the pear Bellini!
