Tips and Substitutions

• Dietary Needs: For a vegan version, simply use maple syrup instead of honey. To make it gluten-free, ensure the ginger beer is certified gluten-free.
• Sweetness Level: Adjust the amount of honey or syrup in the puree based on your sweetness preference.
• Fruit Freshness: Choose ripe pears for the best flavor. If fresh pears aren’t available, you can use pear nectar or canned pears (drained) as a substitute for the puree.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Too Sweet: If your Spiced Pear Mule is too sweet, add a splash more lime juice to balance the flavors.
• Too Spicy: If you find the ginger beer is too spicy, try a milder version or reduce the amount of spiced pear puree.
• Lumpy Puree: If the pear puree is lumpy, blend it a bit longer or strain it through a fine mesh sieve to achieve a smoother consistency.
