Description
A refreshing non-alcoholic mocktail featuring pear juice and vanilla, perfect for gatherings.
Ingredients
- 3 cups (720 ml) Ceres pear juice blend
- 2 vanilla bean pods, cut in half and partially sliced open
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water
- 1 lemon or lime wedge
- ice
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) cinnamon sugar
- fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Mix Sugar & Spice: Start by mixing the sugar and cinnamon on a plate until it looks well blended. The sweet aroma will hint at the flavor to come. Rimming the glass with sugar adds a nice touch, but make sure the glass is slightly damp first or the sugar will not stick well.
- Prep Sparkling Water: Pour some sparkling water into a pitcher and watch those bubbles dance. You want it chill and fizzy for that refreshing touch. You can always add more if the drink is not fizzy enough. Just remember to add it right before serving for that bubbly effect.
- Slice Pear & Add Juice: Slice some fresh pears thinly and drop them right into your pitcher. Their cute shapes and sweetness add charm and flavor. If you let them sit too long, they might get mushy, so keep an eye on the timing.
- Stir In Vanilla Extract: Gently add the vanilla extract into the mix, giving everything a quick stir. The sweet aroma will bring everything together beautifully. A common mistake here is to add too much, so stick to a small splash.
- Serve With Ice: Fill your prepared glasses with ice and pour the pear mixture right over them. Feel the chill as you serve it up. If you delay, the ice might melt and dilute your mocktail. So aim to serve immediately for the best experience.
- Garnish & Enjoy: Finish off with a slice of pear or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. It looks so inviting. Do not skip this step; it is all about the presentation. Now, take a moment to enjoy the vibrant colors before sipping.
Notes

How to Store?
To keep your pear mocktail fresh, follow these storage tips:
Room Temperature: Serve immediately after mixing, as this drink does not store well when sparkling water is added.
