Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the syrup
  • 2 pieces ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped (peel left on)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 stick cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
For serving
  • 2 cups chilled ginger beer or ginger ale Ginger ale can be used for a sweeter option.
  • ice cubes For serving.
  • 4 slices thin pear slices, for garnish
  • 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped pears, water, sugar, sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 12 to 15 minutes until the pears are very soft.
  2. Take the saucepan off the heat and let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick.
  3. Transfer the pear mixture to a blender and puree it until completely smooth.
  4. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice. Chill the syrup in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Serving
  1. Fill 4 glasses with ice cubes. Divide the chilled pear-ginger syrup evenly among the glasses, about 1/4 cup per glass.
  2. Top each glass with 1/2 cup of chilled ginger beer or ginger ale, pouring slowly down the side to preserve the fizz.
  3. Gently stir each drink, garnish with pear slices and rosemary if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

The syrup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. A great drink for fall and winter gatherings.
