Description

This unique lemonade is the perfect drink for the transition from summer to autumn, combining the sweetness of ripe pears, the spiciness of fresh ginger, and the refreshing acidity of lemon. Its depth is enhanced by the herbal, slightly woody aroma of fresh rosemary, which pairs wonderfully with the fruity notes. The drink has a beautiful, golden, slightly cloudy color that evokes the autumn sun. It can be served in two ways: chilled with ice cubes as a refreshing drink on warmer days, or slightly warmed to become a comforting elixir for cool evenings. This is a much more sophisticated option than classic lemonade, perfect for gatherings with friends, family celebrations, or simply as a moment of pleasure for yourself. Its flavor is complex yet perfectly balanced – each sip is a journey from sweetness, through spiciness, to a refreshing, herbal finish.

Preparation steps

Pear-Ginger Syrup

1

Start by preparing the ingredients for the syrup. Wash the pears thoroughly under running water. You don't need to peel them, but remove the cores using a small knife or a corer. Cut the pears into thick cubes (about 2x2 cm). Peel the ginger and slice it thinly. Rinse the rosemary sprigs and gently dry them with a paper towel.

Ingredients: Ripe pears (e.g. Conference), Fresh ginger root, Fresh rosemary
The easiest way to peel ginger is to scrape the skin with the edge of a small teaspoon – it fits the irregular shape of the root better than a knife and minimizes the loss of flesh.
2

In a medium-sized pot (with a capacity of about 2 liters), place the chopped pears, ginger slices, and whole sprigs of rosemary. Pour in 250 ml of water. If you are using optional ingredients, add the cinnamon stick and star anise now.

Ingredients: Ripe pears (e.g. Conference), Fresh ginger root, Fresh rosemary, Water, Cinnamon stick, Star anise
Use a pot with a thicker bottom to prevent the fruits from burning during cooking. Do not add honey yet – we will add it at the end to preserve as many of its valuable properties as possible.
3

Place a pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts bubbling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes. The pears should become very soft and start to break down, and a strong, spiced-fruity aroma should fill the kitchen.

Stir the contents of the pot every 5 minutes to ensure that nothing sticks to the bottom. You will know it's ready when a fork goes into the pieces of pear with no resistance.
4

Remove the pot from the heat. Using a slotted spoon, take out the rosemary sprigs, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Leave the pears with ginger in the liquid. Add honey and stir until completely dissolved. Pour everything into a blender jug and blend on high speed until you have a perfectly smooth, uniform mixture. Then, to obtain a clear syrup, strain it through a fine sieve into a clean bowl, pressing the pulp with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Set the syrup aside to cool completely.

Ingredients: wildflower honey
This is a key step for achieving a velvety consistency. Use a high-power blender. A fine-mesh sieve is best for straining. Do not skip this step, otherwise the lemonade will have a thick, unpleasant puree-like texture.

Lemonade composition

5

In a large pitcher (with a capacity of at least 1.5 liters), combine the cooled pear-ginger syrup, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the remaining 750 ml of cold water. Stir everything thoroughly with a long spoon until all the ingredients are combined and the drink has a uniform color.

Ingredients: Lemon juice, Water
Before mixing, taste the syrup – if you prefer sweeter drinks, you can add a little more honey. However, keep in mind that after adding water and ice, the flavor will be milder.
6

Place the pitcher of lemonade in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to chill well. Serve in tall glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish each serving with a fresh sprig of rosemary and a thin slice of pear for visual effect. For a warm version, heat the lemonade in a pot without bringing it to a boil and serve in mugs.

To make the drink even more refreshing, you can top off the glass with sparkling water. For adults, a great addition would be 40 ml of gin or white rum per serving.

Fun Fact

💡

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the lemonade in tall, clear glasses to showcase its beautiful color. For decoration, in addition to a sprig of rosemary and a slice of pear, you can add a few pink peppercorns, which will look interesting and add a subtle spiciness. In the warm version, you can stick a few cloves into a slice of orange and add it to the mug.

🥡 Storage

The prepared pear-ginger syrup can be stored in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The finished lemonade is best consumed within 2 days of preparation, keeping it in a closed pitcher in the refrigerator.
