Tips & Tricks
Hey friends! 🍐✨ Making a Pear Ginger Spritzer Mocktail is super fun and easy.
I’ve got a few tips to make your drink even more refreshing!
- Use Fresh Pears: Always go for ripe pears. They add a lovely sweetness. Overripe pears can be too mushy, so be careful.
- Ginger Lovers: If you love ginger, add an extra ginger slice for a spicy kick. If you like it milder, just use a smaller piece.
Chilled Sparkling Water: Keeping your sparkling water cold helps to bring out the best fizz. I usually chill mine at least an hour before using.
- Fun Garnishes: Try adding pear slices or mint leaves on top. They make your drink look extra special. 🍃
- Ice Cubes: Add ice cubes made with pear juice for extra flavor. They don’t water down your drink!
Experiment with these tips and see what works best for you.
