Pear cider, also known as perry, is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of pears. This drink is similar to apple cider but has a distinct, often more delicate and aromatic flavor profile. Pear cider typically has a lower acidity compared to apple cider, making it smoother and slightly sweeter. The alcohol content in pear cider can vary, but it usually falls within the range of 4% to 8% ABV (alcohol by volume).

In the context of cocktails, pear cider adds a unique and refreshing element. It can be used as a base for light, fruity cocktails or as a sparkling component to enhance the complexity of a mixed drink. Pear cider pairs well with spirits like gin, vodka, and whiskey, and it complements flavors such as ginger, lemon, and herbs like rosemary and thyme. Its versatile nature allows it to be seamlessly incorporated into a variety of cocktail recipes, making it a favorite among bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
