Ingredients

  

• Ingredients:
• 1 ripe pear peeled, cored, and diced
• 2 oz white rum
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• ½ oz simple syrup adjust to taste
• 1 cup ice cubes
• Pear slices for garnish
• Optional: a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor twist

Instructions

 

• Method:
• Prep Your Pear: Start by peeling, coring, and chopping your ripe pear. The riper the pear, the sweeter the flavor.
• Blend the Base Ingredients: In a blender, combine the diced pear, rum, lime juice, simple syrup, and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth and slushy.
• Taste and Adjust: Give it a taste! If you like it sweeter, add a bit more simple syrup. If it’s too sweet, squeeze in some extra lime juice to balance things out.
• Serve: Pour into a chilled cocktail glass or a fancy coupe glass if you want to go the extra mile! Garnish with a pear slice on the rim.
• Optional Spices: For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
• Variations:
• Non-Alcoholic Option: Simply omit the rum and replace it with pear juice or coconut water. You’ll get a light, refreshing mocktail with the same pear flavor.
• For a Sweeter Drink: Swap the simple syrup for honey or agave syrup for a more natural sweetener.
• Frozen Pear Margarita: Switch out the rum for tequila, and you’ve got a pear-infused margarita. Just add a little bit of orange liqueur like Cointreau for a citrusy kick.

If you’re looking for a refreshing and unique twist on the classic daiquiri, the Frozen Pear Daiquiri is just the ticket.

Tips:

• Choose the Right Pear: A Bartlett pear is the best option because of its sweet, juicy flesh. If it’s too firm, your drink won’t be as smooth.
• Consistency Matters: Add more ice if you want a thicker, more frozen consistency, or less if you like a thinner drink.
• Balance Flavors: Pear can be delicate, so don’t overdo it on the lime juice or simple syrup at first. Blend, taste, and adjust.

Troubleshooting:

• Too Thick? If your blender struggles to blend, add a splash of water or pear juice to help it along.
• Too Watery? Add more ice or freeze the pear chunks before blending to keep the texture thicker.
• Too Tart? Adjust the sweetness by adding more simple syrup or even a splash of fruit liqueur for depth.
