Ingredients

2 ripe pears peeled and diced

2 tablespoons simple syrup
4-6 oz club soda
Ice cubes
Pear slice for garnish
Fresh mint leaves optional

Instructions

Place diced pears in a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

Notes

Store extra pear mixture in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.

To make ahead, prepare the pear mixture and store it separately from the club soda.

For best results, use ripe Bartlett or Anjou pears.

The drink tastes best when served right away while the bubbles are fresh.

Substitute

You can swap ingredients in this Pear Vanilla Fizz Mocktail to match what’s in your kitchen. Each change will create a slightly different taste while keeping the drink refreshing.

Replace pear juice with apple juice or white grape juice for a similar fruity base. These options blend well with vanilla and create the same light sweetness.

For the vanilla syrup, try maple syrup or honey mixed with a few drops of vanilla extract. Plain simple syrup works too if you want less vanilla flavor.

Club soda gives the drink its fizz. Sparkling water or ginger ale make good replacements. Note: Ginger ale adds extra sweetness.

Fresh herbs can take the place of the mint garnish:

Basil leaves
Rosemary sprigs
Thyme sprigs

Pro tip: Always taste test after making substitutions. Add more or less of any ingredient to match your taste preferences.
