Method

Prepare the Pear Juice:

If using fresh pears, wash and slice them, then blend them until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice. You can also use store-bought pear juice for convenience.

Mix the Ingredients:

In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, fresh pear juice, and lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is chilled.

Pour the Mixture:

Strain the mixture into a highball glass or copper mug filled with ice.

Top with Ginger Beer:

Pour ginger beer over the top and stir gently to combine.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with a slice of pear and a sprig of mint for a refreshing touch.

Variations

For a Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute vodka with sparkling water for a refreshing mocktail.

For a Spicy Kick: Add a few slices of fresh jalapeño to the shaker before mixing. This adds a delightful heat that complements the sweetness of the pear.

Herb Infusion: Muddle fresh herbs like rosemary or basil at the bottom of the shaker for a herbal twist.
