Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 1 cup pear juice freshly squeezed if possible
  • 1 oz fresh ginger grated (or ginger syrup for a sweeter option)

  • Instructions
  • Prepare the Ginger Infusion:
  • In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger and pear juice. If you’re using honey or agave, add it here too.
  • Let this mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Juice the Lemon:
  • While the ginger and pear mixture is infusing, squeeze the juice from a fresh lemon. This will add a nice tartness that balances the sweetness of the pear.
  • Shake It Up:
  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain the ginger-pear mixture into the shaker along with the lemon juice.
  • Shake well until chilled.
  • Serve:
  • Fill two champagne flutes or glasses halfway with the ginger-pear mixture.
  • Top with sparkling water or club soda, giving it a gentle stir to mix.
  • Garnish:
  • Add pear slices and a sprig of fresh mint to each glass for a lovely presentation.
  • Variations
  • Spicy Twist: Add a slice of jalapeño for a spicy kick!
  • Herbal Note: Include a few fresh basil or thyme leaves in the shaker before mixing.
  • Alcoholic Version: Add a shot of gin or vodka for an adult twist.
