Spiced Pear And Ginger Punch Cocktail Recipe

I love making this Spiced Pear and Ginger Punch because it’s easy, tasty, and perfect for gatherings. Using real pears and ginger brings out natural flavors.

Simple tools keep the steps straightforward.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker: I find this mixes everything well.
• Large pitcher or punch bowl: This holds enough punch for everyone.
• Measuring cups and spoons: For accurate ingredient amounts.
• Cutting board and sharp knife: To slice pears and lemon.
• Mixing spoon: I use this to combine ingredients in the punch bowl.
• Juicer (optional): Handy if I want to use fresh lemon or pear juice.
• Serving glasses: I serve the punch in simple tumblers or cocktail glasses.
• Ice bucket or tray: For keeping the punch cool.
• Strainer: Useful if I want to keep pulp out.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups vodka
• 1 1/2 cups pear juice (or fresh pear juice)
• 1 cup ginger beer
• 1/2 cup ginger liqueur
• 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
• 1-2 fresh pears, sliced thin
• 2-3 cinnamon sticks
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Extra pear slices and cinnamon sticks for garnish
• Ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

• Fill the punch bowl or pitcher halfway with ice to chill.
• Pour vodka, pear juice, ginger liqueur, and ginger beer into the bowl.
• Add the fresh lemon juice and honey or simple syrup. Stir until blended.
• Drop in the thinly sliced pears and cinnamon sticks.
• Sprinkle in the nutmeg and ground cinnamon. Stir again.
• Use a cocktail shaker to mix a test glass, shaking with ice and straining into a serving glass to check flavor balance.
• Adjust sweetness, citrus, or spice if needed. Add more pear juice, honey, or lemon juice as preferred.
• Serve punch over ice, garnish with extra pear slices and cinnamon sticks.

Notes

I’ve noticed that using ripe, juicy pears makes a big difference in flavor. When I want less sweetness, I use more lemon juice or less honey.

I sometimes swap ginger beer with sparkling water if someone wants a lighter punch. Letting the punch sit for 10 minutes brings out the spice from the cinnamon sticks and the flavors blend better.

I always taste before serving, adjusting spices, lemon, or sweetness so it matches my preference. I don’t recommend skipping the ginger liqueur because it gives the punch a deep ginger kick that really makes the drink stand out.

Tasting Notes

When I first try the Spiced Pear and Ginger Punch, the mellow pear flavor jumps out. It’s juicy, not cloying, and honestly just really refreshing.

Pretty soon, the ginger kicks in. It’s got some warmth, but nothing overwhelming—just a gentle spice and a bit of a tingle on the tongue.

Together, the pear and ginger play off each other in a way that feels balanced. Neither one is fighting for the spotlight.

The punch smells a bit like a pear dessert—cozy, with a hint of spice. When I take a sip, there’s a little tang from the citrus that keeps things interesting.

If I add a cinnamon stick or a slice of fresh pear to the rim, I get an extra whiff of aroma with every sip. That balance between warmth and brightness? It just works.
