Asian Pear Spice Martini

Asian Pear Spice Martini

by Mixologist / Co-owner Joanne Eckmeyer of Screaming Eagle Restaurant – Lounge

Screaming Eagle co-owner Joanne Eckmeyer knows her cocktails. From classics like Sidecars and Pisco Sours to originals like her Celebrity Martini with raspberry vodka, cranberry, pineapple and lime topped with Champagne, her menu is one of the most exciting ones on the island.

And while she asks her husband to juice the fresh ginger for her famous Moscow Mules, she makes the hot pepper-infused syrup and the caramelized cinnamon orange slices for this martini herself.

The drink is an explosion of flavor and aroma, with a spicy Asian twist from the sake and chili pepper. “I was thinking Japanese,” says Joanne, adding that she came up with it to pair with sashimi, tuna or scallop carpaccio. But the sweet heat that comes on just at the end makes this martini tantalizing enough to drink anytime. “It’s the perfect cocktail to start or finish the evening with,” she says.
