A Crush On You: Pear-Ginger Sparkling Mocktail For The Holidays

/

You’ll be crushing on this sophisticated sparkling mocktail.

Pear is an underutilized winter flavour in cocktails, and it pairs beautifully with spices and sparkling wine. Using an easy ginger syrup, this simple and light mocktail recipe is easy enough for one, but can also be batched for entertaining. The delicious ginger syrup can be reserved for other drinks and for adding to tea if you’re looking for a cozy sweetener.

The best part of this mocktail is the celebratory bubbles you top it with. Noughty Alcohol Free Sparkling Rose is a perfect accompaniment to the pear and ginger flavours in this mocktail. You will be toasting the night away at your next holiday soiree!
