Instructions

• Make sage simple syrup: Heat water and sugar in a small pot until sugar dissolves. Add sage leaves and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and strain.

Fresh pear juice works best, but good quality store-bought juice can work too.

For a sweeter drink, add an extra 1/2 oz of sage simple syrup.

Tasting Notes

The Pear Sage Cooler offers a bright and crisp flavor profile with subtle herbal notes. Fresh pear juice brings natural sweetness while fresh sage adds an earthy depth.

The first sip highlights the sweet pear, followed by gentle sage that lingers on the tongue. The combination creates a refreshing and balanced drink.

Light bubbles from the sparkling water give this mocktail a pleasant effervescence. The carbonation helps lift the aromatics of both the pear and sage.

Key flavor notes:

• Sweet pear
• Herbal sage
• Light bubbles
• Clean finish

When served cold, the drink tastes most vibrant. Ice helps maintain the ideal temperature while diluting none of the flavors.

The pale golden color of the drink matches its fresh taste. A garnish of sage leaf and pear slice adds visual appeal and enhances the aromatic experience.
