Instructions

For the Spiced Pear Spritz:

Start by making your simple syrup. Add granulated sugar and water to a small saucepan with desired spices (cinnamon, cloves, and ginger work great here). Heat on medium, stirring on occasion until sugar has fully melted. Shut off the heat and set aside to let cool.
For the Spiced Pear Spritz, fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the pear juice, pear liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake until very cold, then strain into a glass.
Top with champagne and sparkling apple cider or ginger beer. Garnish with a pear slice if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

*Note – you can use regular simple syrup here, but I like adding a little extra spice to complement the flavor of the liqueur.
