Cinnamon Pear Sparkler Cocktail Recipe

If I’m in the mood for something festive but not heavy, this is what I make. Pear juice, cinnamon, and sparkling wine—it’s crisp, a bit spicy, and just feels right for a celebration.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker – I use this to mix the pear juice, lemon juice, and honey until everything comes together.
• Strainer – Makes pouring smooth, no weird bits or ice cubes in the glass.
• Measuring jigger – Keeps the flavors in check, so nothing overpowers.
• Bar spoon – Good for stirring gently, especially if you don’t want to lose all the bubbles.
• Champagne flute – I always pour this into a tall flute; it just looks and feels fancier.
• Small knife and cutting board – For slicing up fresh pear and lemon to garnish.
• Ice – Gotta have some cubes to chill things down before pouring.

Having the right tools makes the whole thing a lot smoother. Plus, serving it in a flute just makes it look a bit more polished, you know?

Ingredients

• 2 oz pear juice (fresh if you can, but bottled is fine)
• ½ oz lemon juice (fresh is best)
• ½ oz honey or simple syrup
• 1 thin slice of fresh ginger (totally optional, for a little extra spice)
• 1 cinnamon stick (garnish and a bit of aroma)
• 4 oz sparkling wine, prosecco, or champagne
• Ice cubes for shaking
• Fresh pear slices for garnish

If I have ripe pears, I’ll juice them, but honestly, bottled juice works in a pinch. Honey gives a nice natural sweetness, though simple syrup is smoother if you’re after that.

Instructions

• Fill your cocktail shaker with ice.
• Pour in the pear juice, lemon juice, honey (or syrup), and ginger if you’re using it.
• Shake it up for about 10–15 seconds until it’s nice and cold.
• Strain the mix into a champagne flute.
• Top it off with sparkling wine, prosecco, or champagne.
• Give it a gentle stir with a spoon—don’t go wild, you want to keep those bubbles.
• Garnish with a pear slice and a cinnamon stick.

I always make sure to shake the juice and honey together first, so everything actually blends. Stirring at the end keeps it fizzy.

Notes

Ginger adds a quiet little kick, but if you’re not into that, just skip it. The cinnamon stick is mostly for the aroma, not so much for flavor—it’s subtle.

If I want things lighter, I usually pick prosecco since it’s not as dry as champagne. Sometimes I’ll add a touch more honey or go with a sweeter sparkling wine if I want a dessert-y twist.

Serving it right away keeps those bubbles fresh. Oh, and if you chill the flute first, the cocktail stays cold longer—just a little tip from me to you.

Tasting Notes

When I take that first sip, the crisp sparkle jumps out at me. The bubbles really lift everything up and somehow make the drink feel extra light and refreshing.

The pear flavor comes through with this gentle sweetness, but it’s not heavy at all. Honestly, it tastes like real fruit—nothing syrupy or overdone.

Then there’s the cinnamon, which I notice right after. It sneaks in with a warm, cozy spice that balances out the pear nicely.

The spice kind of lingers, but not in a bad way—it just gives the drink a soft, comforting finish. It’s subtle, but it’s definitely there.

The way the flavors come together is just smooth and easy to drink. I appreciate how the sweetness, spice, and fizz all stick around without any one of them taking over.

Flavor Highlights:

• Sweetness: Light and natural, thanks to the pear
• Spice: Gentle warmth from the cinnamon
• Texture: Crisp, bubbly, and smooth
