Sparkling Pear Mojito Mocktail Recipe
I keep coming back to this recipe because it’s one of those drinks that just feels refreshing and is honestly so easy. There’s crisp pear, mint, and those fizzy bubbles—what’s not to like?
It’s a hit at parties, but I’ll also make one just to relax after a long day.
Equipment
I don’t get too fancy with the tools for this mocktail—just the basics. Here’s what I usually grab:
- Muddler or wooden spoon (for crushing mint and pear)
- Cocktail shaker or a big glass
- Fine mesh strainer (optional, if you want it smoother)
- Tall serving glass
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spoon or stir stick
- Knife and cutting board
Having these out ahead of time just helps everything go smoother, and cleanup is less of a pain.
Ingredients
When I’m picking out ingredients, I go for the freshest stuff I can find. Here’s my usual list:
- 1 ripe pear (diced, plus extra slices for garnish)
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup or honey
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Optional: Extra mint and pear slices for decoration
A juicy, ripe pear really makes a difference. And the sparkling water? That’s what gives the drink its fun, lively vibe.
Instructions
Here’s how I whip up my sparkling pear mojito mocktail:
- Toss diced pear and mint leaves into your shaker or glass.
- Gently muddle them to release all that flavor.
- Add in the lime juice and simple syrup or honey.
- Give it a quick mix with your spoon.
- Fill your serving glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the muddled pear mixture over the ice.
- Top it off with sparkling water or club soda.
- Stir gently so it all comes together.
- Garnish with a few extra mint leaves and pear slices.
I like to serve it right away so it’s as bubbly and fresh as possible.
Notes
If you’re not a fan of bits in your drink, go ahead and strain out the pear before serving. Want it less sweet? Just use less syrup or honey.
Sometimes I’ll use a flavored sparkling water—pear or lime are both really good. If I’m feeling adventurous, I might swap in apple or peach for the pear.
When I’m hosting, I’ll double up the recipe and make a pitcher. I always taste as I go, tweaking the mint or lime until it’s just right.

Tasting Notes
When I take a sip of this pear mocktail, the first thing that hits me is the gentle fizz from the sparkling water. It gives the drink a light feeling—nothing too busy, just that subtle sparkle.
The pear flavor really stands out. It’s mild and sweet, with a little floral note that feels fresh—definitely not fake or syrupy.
I pick up some soft hints of lime too. That zesty lime juice brightens things up, cutting through the sweetness and keeping each sip balanced.
If I swirl the glass, the aroma of pear and mint becomes even more noticeable. The bubbles seem to lift those scents right out of the drink.
Texture-wise, it’s smooth, and the bubbles keep it lively without being too sharp. No alcohol here, so it stays gentle and super easy to drink.
This mocktail goes great with light snacks or on a warm afternoon. Each ingredient just kind of falls into place, making it a cool, easygoing treat.
