Knife and small cutting board

Ingredients

1 ripe pear peeled, cored, and chopped
2 –3 sprigs fresh thyme
1.5 oz 45 ml gin or vodka
1 oz 30 ml pear juice (bottled or freshly pressed)

0.5 oz 15 ml simple syrup (or thyme simple syrup)
0.5 oz 15 ml fresh lemon juice
3 –4 oz 90–120 ml club soda or sparkling water

Ice cubes
Optional: Extra thyme sprigs and pear slices for garnish

Instructions

Muddle chopped pear and thyme sprigs well in the shaker to release flavors.
Add gin or vodka, pear juice, simple syrup, and lemon juice.

Fill shaker with ice and shake firmly for 10–15 seconds.
Strain mixture into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.
Top with club soda or sparkling water.

Stir gently with a bar spoon to mix fizz through the drink.
Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig or a slice of pear.

Notes

I always use a ripe pear because it gives more flavor and sweetness to the drink. If I want a stronger herb taste, I use thyme simple syrup instead of plain syrup.

To make thyme syrup, simmer equal parts sugar and water with fresh thyme for about 5 minutes, then cool and strain. This recipe can be made non-alcoholic by leaving out the gin or vodka and adding a little more pear juice or soda.

For the best fizz, I pour the soda slowly on the side of the glass. I don’t stir too much after adding soda to keep the bubbles.

Using fresh lemon juice gives a brighter taste than bottled juice.

Tasting Notes

When I take my first sip of the Pear and Thyme Fizz, I notice the fresh flavor of pear right away. The pear is subtle but clearly present, giving a mild fruit taste that isn’t too sweet.

Aromas fill my nose with a light, herbal scent from the thyme. This balances the pear and gives the drink a clean, garden-like feel.

Here are some flavors I taste in each sip:

Pear: Delicate and juicy
Thyme: Light and herbal
Lemon: Slight tartness
Fizz: Sparkling, crisp finish

The bubbles from the sparkling water make the drink feel bright and refreshing. I like the way the thyme lingers, adding a gentle earthiness after each sip.

Texture is important in this drink. The fizz is smooth and lifts the flavors, while the pear gives it a soft body.

Each glass feels light, never heavy.
