Ingredients
Pear Vanilla Syrup
- 1 cup finely chopped or blended Bartlett pears
- 1/2 cup organic sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup vanilla syrup
Mocktail
- 1 1/2 ounces sparkling pear juice (about 3 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons pear vanilla syrup
- 3/4 cup soda water
- Crushed ice, for serving
- Optional sugar and vanilla bean mixture for rimming the glass
Instructions
- Prepare the Pear Vanilla Syrup: In a saucepan, combine finely chopped or blended Bartlett pears, organic sugar, water, and vanilla syrup. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved and the pears have softened, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids, then allow it to cool completely.
- Rim the Glass (Optional): If desired, rim your serving glasses with a mixture of sugar and vanilla bean to add an extra aromatic touch. Dip the rim in water or syrup first to help the sugar mixture stick evenly.
- Assemble the Mocktail: Fill each glass generously with crushed ice. Add 1 1/2 ounces (about 3 tablespoons) of sparkling pear juice and 2 tablespoons of the prepared pear vanilla syrup to the glass.
- Add Soda Water: Pour 3/4 cup of chilled soda water over the pear mixture to add bubbles and balance the sweetness. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without losing the fizz.
- Serve Immediately: Garnish with a pear slice or vanilla pod if desired, and enjoy this refreshing and elegant pear vanilla fizz right away for best taste and effervescence.
Notes
- You can prepare the pear vanilla syrup in advance and store it refrigerated for up to one week.
- Use sparkling pear juice for authentic fruity flavor and bubbles; substitute with sparkling water and pear nectar if unavailable.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of pear vanilla syrup to your preference.
- For added presentation, garnish with a fresh pear slice or a vanilla bean pod.
