Instructions
The day before serving, prepare the simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium low, and stir slowly but consistently until the sugar dissolves completely and the liquid is clear. Add in the vanilla extract and let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a 1 pint mason jar, seal, and refrigerate at least overnight or up to three weeks.
Then make the cocktail: Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add in the pear nectar, rum, simple syrup, and cinnamon. Cover and shake well, until the cocktail shaker is cold to the touch. Then strain into a lowball or martini glass. Garnish with pear slices and serve immediately.
