Helpful Tips and Variations
- If you don’t have fresh ginger, ground ginger can be used in a pinch – start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust to taste.
- For an extra touch, garnish with a slice of lime on the rim of the glass.
- This drink is perfect for hot summer days, but it can also be enjoyed warm – simply heat gently on the stove and serve in mugs for a cozy treat.
- Consider adding a splash of sparkling water before serving for a fizzy twist.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving as ingredients may settle.
- If pears are not in season, try using apples as an alternative. Their natural sweetness pairs wonderfully with ginger and lime.
- For a lower sugar option, omit the honey or agave syrup and enjoy the natural sweetness from the fruit.
