neverlaysup Posted October 25, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 25, 2021 DW was recently on the Millie (end of Sept) and at the Martini bar, they said Celebrity would no longer be serving the Peartini. We were on Equinox in early September and drank them like water so this would be upsetting if they went away. We will sail again on Silhouette in November and are looking forward to the Martini bar and hopefully some Peartinis. Does anybody know if the other ships are still serving them? Thank you!

Purplsmurf Posted October 25, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 25, 2021 They must not be able to get the pear vodka anymore. I can’t drink them because I can only drink certain kinds of vodka, and gray goose isn’t one of them. I have heard they are delicious tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lv2cruisgrl Posted October 25, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Bummer when things change, however we were just on Edge and the Martini bar had a Lemon Lavender martini that was yummy! It's my new fav! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey goose made a pear flavored vodka but I have not seen it recently so probably discontinued. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremiah1212 Posted October 25, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I saw La Poire on sale for 50% off at Total Wine recently so I imagine they can't get it anymore. The only other pear flavor I commonly see in stores is Absolut and it is terrible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kathynorth Posted October 26, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I would think a peartini could be made with pear juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really supposed to be, but would take them too long to properly prepare one at a bar to make it worth the money. Just peeling and coring the pears, much less the time to puree them with other ingredients would slow them down. If you like them and would be willing to spend the time it takes, there are some good recipes out there for home use that use ripe pears and a splash of lime juice. Check out one from Giada De Laurentiis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACruisers Posted October 26, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Or simply stock pre-bottled pear juice available in most grocery stores 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed my local liquor store just stocks the regular grey goose and in others I have seen the lemon flavor. They keep track of sales and if not enough revenue they discontinue.

We had a fantastic mixologist on Liberty of the Seas that made one by muddling a canned pear. I'm not much for fruity drinks, but I enjoyed that one very much. Delicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
