Description

A refreshing yet warming non-alcoholic drink that embodies the essence of autumn and winter flavors. This Spiced Pear-Ginger Fizz is the perfect choice for chilly evenings, gatherings with friends, or as an elegant holiday toast for the whole family, including children. The base is an aromatic homemade syrup made from fresh, ripe pears, spicy ginger, and warming spices like cinnamon and cloves. The sweetness of the fruit perfectly balances the spiciness of the ginger and the warmth of the spices, while the addition of lemon juice brings a hint of freshness. The drink is completed with sparkling water, which adds lightness and elegance. Visually, the drink is stunning – it has a beautiful golden-amber color, and served in a tall glass with ice and a sprig of mint, it captivates with its appearance. It is an excellent, healthier alternative to sugary sodas and a great substitute for mulled wine for those who do not drink alcohol.

Preparation steps

Preparing the syrup

1

Start by preparing the fruits and spices. Rinse the pears thoroughly under running water. You don't need to peel them, as the skin will add flavor and color. Cut each pear into quarters, then use a small knife to remove the cores. Cut the flesh into thick cubes (about 2-3 cm). Peel the ginger root using a teaspoon (scraping off the skin) or a knife, then slice it thinly.

Ingredients: Ripe pears, Fresh ginger root
Use a sharp knife and a stable cutting board. Peeling ginger with a teaspoon is very effective and minimizes flesh loss compared to a knife.
2

Place all the prepared ingredients for the syrup in a medium-sized pot (with a capacity of about 2 liters). Add the chopped pears, ginger slices, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and brown sugar. If using, also add the star anise now. Pour in 500 ml of cold water.

Ingredients: Ripe pears, Fresh ginger root, Laski cynamonu, Goździki (całe), Brown cane sugar, Water, Star anise
A pot with a thick bottom works best, as it evenly distributes heat and prevents the sugar from burning.
3

Place a pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar. Once the syrup starts to boil, reduce the heat to the lowest setting so that the liquid just gently 'flickers'. Cover the pot and simmer for about 15-20 minutes. The syrup is ready when the pears become very soft and an intense, spicy aroma fills the kitchen.

Do not cook the syrup over too high heat, as the water may evaporate too quickly and the fruits won't have time to release all their flavor.
4

Remove the pot from the heat. Prepare a bowl or pitcher and place a fine-mesh strainer on top. Carefully pour the entire contents of the pot through the strainer. Using the back of a spoon or spatula, press the fruits and spices firmly against the strainer to extract as much aromatic juice as possible. You can discard the pulp left in the strainer.

Be careful, as the syrup is very hot. Use kitchen gloves. Squeezing the pulp thoroughly is key to achieving an intense syrup flavor.
5

Set the strained syrup aside to cool completely – this will take about 30-40 minutes at room temperature. Once the syrup is cool, add freshly squeezed lemon juice and mix thoroughly. The lemon juice will balance the sweetness and add freshness to the drink.

Ingredients: Lemon juice
Do not add lemon juice to the hot syrup to avoid losing valuable vitamin C. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the container with the syrup into a larger bowl filled with cold water and ice.

Beverage composition

6

Prepare four tall glasses (highball or collins type, with a capacity of about 300-350 ml). Fill each glass about 2/3 full with ice cubes. The ice will not only chill the drink but also ensure it dilutes more slowly.

Using a large amount of ice is important. If you only add a few cubes, they will quickly melt and dilute the drink. A lot of ice cools the drink, and it melts more slowly.
7

Measure an equal amount of chilled pear-ginger syrup into each glass. For 4 servings, this will be about 100-120 ml of syrup per glass (about 1/4 of the prepared syrup volume). Pour the syrup directly over the ice.

You can adjust the amount of syrup to your taste preferences – if you prefer a sweeter drink, add more, and if you want it less sweet, use less.
8

Carefully and slowly fill each glass with very cold sparkling water. Pour the water down the side of the glass or over a spoon to preserve as many bubbles as possible. The drink should fill the glass almost to the brim.

Ingredients: Sparkling water (well chilled)
Slowly adding sparkling water is key. Pouring it in too quickly will cause a rapid release of carbon dioxide, and the drink will quickly lose its fizz.
9

Take a long bar spoon or a straw and gently stir the drink, making one or two movements from bottom to top to combine the syrup with the water, but do not 'disturb' the bubbles. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately while the drink is cold and sparkling.

Ingredients: Fresh mint for decoration
Avoid vigorous mixing. It's just about lightly combining the ingredients. Optionally, you can add a thin slice of fresh pear for decoration.

Fun Fact

💡

Ginger is one of the oldest spices in the world, used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for over 5000 years to treat digestive issues and inflammatory conditions. Pears, on the other hand, are one of the few fruits that reach their best quality and flavor after being picked from the tree.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in highball glasses with plenty of ice to keep the drink refreshing for a long time. For decoration, in addition to mint, you can use a thin slice of fresh pear or candied orange peel. For an 'adult' version, you can add 25-40 ml of gin or white rum to each glass before pouring in the sparkling water.

🥡 Storage

The prepared pear-ginger syrup can be stored in a tightly sealed bottle or jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Shake well before use. Do not freeze the prepared drink with sparkling water, as it will completely lose its bubbles.
