What You’ll Need To Make the Sparkling Spiced Pear Cocktail

for the simple syrup:

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup honey or sugar
• 5-7 sprigs of fresh thyme
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 2 inches of ginger, sliced

How To Make It

Add everything to a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for about ten minutes (don’t let it boil) before taking the pan off the heat to steep. Once completely cooled, strain and pour into a syrup bottle (these ones are my favorite). They can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

pitcher of cocktails:

• 3 cups of pear juice
• 1.5 cups of vodka or gin
• 1/2 cup spiced autumn simple syrup
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 bottle of Prosecco, chilled

How To Make It

Add all ingredients to a pitcher and stir to combine. Pour up your sparkling spiced pear cocktails into a chilled coupe glass and serve for brunch, happy hour, or for an aperitivo. I made these adorable thyme ice cubes to chill the cocktails that also serves as a gorgeous garnish.

I’m thinking of serving these as my signature cocktail for Thanksgiving dinner for everyone to enjoy while we fry the (and talk) turkey. The warm flavors of fall from the autumn spiced syrup are the star of the show and I love that I can make it ahead of time and pour everything together minutes before guests arrive!
