Quick and easy. We simply blend the pear and ginger, strain and top with some bubbles!
🍐 Ingredients
All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.
Some notes on a few of them:
- Pears - you can choose your favorite pears, but I suggest to use a sweet pear such as a conference pear or Bartlett pear.
- Ginger - we are using fresh ginger root rather than ground ginger for this drink.
- Mint - choose fresh leaves!
- Sparkling water - I suggest to use a plain unflavored water or club soda.
📖 Swaps and variations
Add some ginger beer! If you like a super gingery taste, then pour in a little ginger beer alongside your sparkling water.
Swap fresh pear for pear juice. While I like to use fresh pear, you can use pear juice from a carton if that works for you.
🔪 Step by step instructions
Making this homemade ginger pear mocktail recipe is very simple, with just a few steps:
Step 1: Dice pears and peel ginger
De-core the pears and roughly dice into small pieces. Peel the root ginger and dice into small pieces (image 1).
Step 2: Add ingredients to a blender
Add the diced pear, diced root ginger and mint leaves to a blender cup with a tablespoon of water (image 2).
Step 3: Blend the pear ginger puree
Blend the pears, ginger, mint and water to a puree, making sure the root ginger has blended (image 3).
