Ingredients

Just four ingredients make this delicious recipe!

Pear Juice – It’s actually not hard to find pear juice. Sprouts sells their own brand, Santa Cruz is another one. My favorite is RW Knudsen which doesn’t add anything extra to the ingredients – it’s just pears.

Fresh Mint – Typically found in small containers refrigerated with other fruits and veggies. This can also be grown really well at home.

Fresh Basil – Found in the same area as mint, this adds another dimension to the mocktail and pairs well with pear…no pun intended.

Sparkling Water – Soda water or sparkling water adds refreshing bubbles and also keeps the sweetness and calorie content lower, really highlighting the flavors of the herbs.

How to Make

Making this pear drink is super easy with these three steps.

  1. Start by combining pear juice in a small cup with a few leaves of fresh mint and basil. Muddle together so you can begin to smell the herbs combined with the juice. You can do this with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon.
  2. Strain the juice into two separate, short glasses and top with ice.
  3. Fill with sparkling water till full and garnish with basil and mint leaves.

If you want to make this recipe ahead, stop at step two and just strain into a covered container, then place in the fridge. Wait until ready to serve to add ice and top with sparkling water.

Turn This Into a Pear Cocktail

To make this mocktail recipe into a pear cocktail, just add:

  • 1 oz vodka or gin
  • I recommend Tito’s vodka or Hendricks Gin
  • Seedlip also makes a great non-alcoholic gin to mix in as well.

Pear Juice Recipes

I know what you’re thinking. How can I use up this pear juice if I just make a mocktail for one or two people? Pear juice stores well in the fridge for a while, but here are some other recipe suggestions.
