LAVENDER PEAR MARTINI - BEST EVER!
I had my first Lavender Pear Martini @ the Ruby Tuesday's in Winchester, VA .. OMG I fell in love with it. Go there every time I'm in town. I love the texture of the pear nectar used .. not too pulpy, but I like the consistence as it isn't runny and sloshes out of the martini glasses so easily. The lavender citrus infusion makes this drink amazing. Fun to watch it change colors - deeper and deeper the longer it steeps. The taste is amazing - the blend couldn't be more perfect! I live in San Diego and the nearest Ruby Tuesday's is in Nevada/Arizona or Northern California .. sure hope they get one down here on sunny southern California!! LOVE THIS COCKTAIL!!

Love it! Buying for our Inn!
Tried the Lavender Pear Martini at Ruby Tuesday's on a business trip and loved it so much I asked the bartender for the recipe! I do NOT like sweet drinks, so the drier and more "herby" the better, and the tea bag is fun to steep in the drink, which gets better the longer it steeps! Want to buy these for our Inn (the Elkhorn Inn & Theatre) in West Virginia and get my chef husband to experiment with them!

Visual appearance- Lavender Infused Pear Martini
Had this last night @ Ruby Tuesdays. The drink was slighty refreshing. The appeal was the tea bag itself, and the ever changing color of the drink each time it was steeped. Beautiful packaging! I have made the pear martini, and quite frankly, the pulp was a distraction. Adding the lavender citrus was a good idea. Although, the pulp problem remained, it ranked a 3- Rating due to the much needed addition of a Splenda packet. Because of the exquisite packaging, I will be purchasing this for the dramatic effect it will have on my guests. Naturally, this drink needs some tweeking to make it 5- Stars.

The caffeine level in a cup of tea can vary by tea type, steeping practices and even the particular tea harvest. We use the following designations as guidelines for the caffeine levels of our teas:
Robust, high caffeine teas; 50-100mg
Lower caffeine teas with shorter steeping times; 30-50mg
Tea/herbal blends with less than 30mg
Decaf tea retains a tiny amount of caffeine
Herbal teas are 100% caffeine free
These steeping guidelines produce the best results for our palates. Use them as a guideline, but you may certainly experiment and find the best results for yours.
