Love pears and sushi? I know that’s kind of a weird combination, but if you do then you should really make your way over to RA Sushi to try out their new “The Perfect Pear” cocktails. The two pear cocktails, the “Pear Martini” and the “Asian Pear Smash,” are a seasonal addition to RA’s cocktail menu. Now on top of peach, pear is another one of my least favorite fruits (I swear I’m not this picky in real life!) so you guys are probably gonna have to fill me in on how these pear cocktails from RA are. I’ve listed the ingredients to both cocktails below in case you’re curious. Oh, and if you do check out RA for their “The Perfect Pear” cocktails then you HAVE to try their California Roll! Yumm-city!
