The Contender

What you need: 50 ml vodka, 10 ml Poire (pear liqueur), 10 to 12 mint leaves, 5 chunks of pear, 60 ml barmix (a blend of equal parts of lime juice, sugar syrup, water and a dash of angostura bitters), nutmeg.
How to make it: Muddle pear fruit in a mixing glass, then tap the mint in your hand and drop the leaves in the mixing glass. Add the rest of the ingredients (except nutmeg), ice and shake for 10 seconds. Double strain in a pre-chilled martini glass. Grate nutmeg on it and serve.
