Ingredients

Scale

For Pear Puree:

  • 1 medium pear, peeled, cored and diced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp water

Instructions

To make pear puree:

  1. Heat all ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer until pears are softened, about 10 minutes. Add more water if needed to prevent the pears from sticking.

  3. This recipe makes enough for 2-3 cocktails, so feel free to double the recipe if needed.

  2. Strain into a highball glass filled with ice.
  3. Top with soda or sparkling water and garnish with 1-2 fresh thyme sprigs.

Notes

  • Pear puree can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • In a pinch, you can use pear butter for the pear puree.
