Tips & Tricks
Making a Pear & Cinnamon Fizz Mocktail is super fun, and I have some tips to share! 🍐✨
- Use fresh pears for the best flavor. If they’re too ripe, they may make your drink mushy. Choose ones that are firm but not hard.
- Adding a pinch of cinnamon gives it a warm and cozy feel. 🌟
If you want a fizzy drink, the right sparkling water is key. You might try different brands to find your favorite! 🥤
Mix your drink by shaking it gently to keep it light and bubbly. Stirring too much can make it go flat.
Adding a slice of pear or a cinnamon stick as a garnish makes it look really pretty and gives an extra hint of flavor. 🎨
Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking. You could try a bit of honey or agave syrup.
Iced or chilled? Try both ways to see which you prefer. Personally, I love it with lots of ice on a hot day! ❄️
