Cinnamon Pear Punch Cocktail Recipe

The flavors of pear and cinnamon create a cozy, refreshing drink that feels special for any gathering.

Using simple tools and fresh ingredients helps me get the best taste out of every glass—honestly, it’s worth the extra effort.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker: I use this to mix the ingredients well and chill the cocktail.
• Measuring jigger or shot glass: This helps me pour the right amounts for any recipe.
• Large pitcher: Perfect when I want to serve a group.
• Long spoon: I like to use this for stirring in the pitcher.
• Strainer: Useful for pouring the punch without pulp or ice.
• Glasses: I pick short tumblers or punch cups.
• Ice: Fresh ice keeps the drink cool. Crushed or cubed both work.
• Peeler or knife: I slice or peel the pears to garnish or add them into the punch.
• Muddler (optional): If I want extra pear flavor, I sometimes mash pear slices gently.

Ingredients

• Pear juice (2 cups): Fresh or bottled, but I prefer fresh because it has a real pear taste.
• Sparkling water (1 cup): Adds fizz and makes the drink lighter.
• Vodka (1 cup): This is optional, but I add it to make the cocktail.
• Cinnamon sticks (2-3): I use whole sticks to infuse flavor into the punch.
• Simple syrup (2 tablespoons): I add this for a hint of sweetness, especially if the pears aren’t very ripe.
• Fresh pears (1-2): Sliced thin for garnish and extra flavor. I choose firm pears for the best slices.
• Lemon juice (2 tablespoons): This keeps the drink bright and balances the sweet flavors.
• Ice (enough to fill glasses and shaker): Needed for serving and mixing.

Instructions

• Add pear juice, vodka, simple syrup, and lemon juice to the cocktail shaker.
• Fill the shaker halfway with ice.
• Shake for about 10-15 seconds until the mix feels cold.
• Place a cinnamon stick and a few pear slices in the bottom of each serving glass.
• Strain the punch from the shaker into the glasses over fresh ice.
• Top each glass with a splash of sparkling water for bubbles.
• Stir gently to blend.
• Garnish with an extra cinnamon stick and a slice of fresh pear on the rim.

Notes

I make sure to use fresh pear juice when possible because it really boosts the punch’s flavor.

If I want to make a big batch, I mix everything in a pitcher except for the sparkling water.

I only add sparkling water right before serving, so the punch stays fizzy.

Sometimes, if I’m not using alcohol, I leave out the vodka—it still tastes great.

For extra flavor, I let the cinnamon sticks sit in the punch for about 10 minutes before serving.

If pears are very sweet, I use less simple syrup.

Sometimes, I muddle a couple of pear slices in the shaker for a stronger fruit taste.

Any type of pear works, but Bartlett and Anjou are my favorites.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip of the Cinnamon Pear Punch, the gentle sweetness of pear juice hits me right away. It’s mild and fruity—definitely not too tart, and thankfully, it doesn’t overpower everything else.

The cinnamon adds this bit of warmth that just makes the drink feel cozy. It’s a soft spice, not aggressive or anything, and I think it balances with the pear pretty well.

There’s a little hint of citrus from the lemon I squeezed in. That wakes up the cocktail and keeps things tasting fresh instead of overly sweet.

Honestly, my favorite part might be the sparkling water. The bubbles are light and crisp, and every sip feels extra refreshing—especially if it’s warm out and you just want something cool.

Every glass has this clean mix of sweet, warmth, and a little bit of zing. It’s simple and gentle—easy to drink, honestly, and sometimes that’s all you really want.
