Ingredients

  • 4 ripe pears, diced
  • 2 cups pear juice
  • 1 cup sparkling water
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Pear slices and cinnamon sticks for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the diced pears, pear juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and fresh lemon juice. Blend until smooth and fragrant, capturing the essence of fall in every pulse.
  2. Fill glasses with ice cubes, and pour the pear mixture over the ice, letting the flavors meld with the chill.
  3. Top off each glass with sparkling water, giving the drink a delightful fizz and a refreshing finish.
  4. Garnish with a pear slice and a cinnamon stick, making each glass a visual treat that’s as enjoyable to look at as it is to sip.

Helpful Tips and Variations

  • If fresh pears are unavailable, canned pears in juice can be a good alternative.
  • For a bit more sweetness, add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup.
  • Serve in a chilled glass to bring an extra layer of refreshment.
  • This refresher can be turned into a festive punch for parties by tripling the recipe and adding a fruit-filled ice ring.

Storage and Substitutions

Store any leftover pear mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve again, simply stir and pour over ice, adding sparkling water fresh to maintain the fizz.

If you have dietary needs, substitute sparkling water with a low-sodium option or a flavored sparkling water for a twist. Adjust the spices to your preference, adding more or less cinnamon and nutmeg as desired.

Pairings and Complements

Our Spiced Pear Refresher pairs beautifully with a variety of snacks and desserts. Consider serving it alongside a cheese platter with mild cheeses, apple slices, and crackers. For dessert, it complements a warm pear crumble or light spiced cookies perfectly.
