The holidays are among us and I have the perfect cocktail to “pear” with that special Christmas occasion. This Ginger Pear & Sage libation is one one of my favorites.
With organic unfiltered pear juice and a homemade ginger sage simple syrup, it’s got all the right flavors for cozying up on a cold winters day. Enjoy these cocktails and enjoy the holidays!
INGREDIENTS
¾ oz Sage & Ginger Simple Syrup
1 ½ oz Vodka
1 ½ oz Organic Unfiltered Pear Juice
METHOD
Place the ingredients in a shaker full of ice. Shake well. Strain into your cocktail glass. Garnish with a thinly sliced pear round and a sprig of sage, if desired.
Note: To make the Sage & Ginger Simple Syrup combine 1 cup sugar & 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add in 3 fresh sage sprigs and 3 or 4 one-inch pieces of fresh ginger and a teaspoon of Vanilla extract. Allow to simmer for a few minutes. Remove from heat and continue to allow the flavors to meld as the simple syrup cools. Remove sage and ginger before using for cocktail. Store any unused portions of Simple Syrup in your refrigerator.
