Notes
Feel free to adjust the flavors. If you prefer a sweeter drink, add a little extra simple syrup. For those who love a stronger ginger taste, muddle more ginger.
Use fresh, ripe pears for the best flavorโthis truly makes a difference. Also, make sure your drink is thoroughly chilled before serving for an extra refreshing experience. Share your thoughts or any variations you tried in the comments! ๐
