PERFECT PEAR RECIPE

Subtle fruit, a touch of citrus, and a soft herbal lift make this cocktail feel elevated and effortlessly seasonal. Whether you’re looking for an elegant serve for guests or a sophisticated solo sip, the Perfect Pear lives up to its name.

Ingredients in the Cocktail

Fresh Lime Juice

Lime adds crisp acidity to balance the natural sweetness of the pear juice and honey. It creates brightness and structure in the drink.

Honey

Just a bar spoon is enough to round off the edges of the citrus and elevate the fruit flavours. Use honey syrup if you prefer a smoother stir-in texture.

Cloudy Pear (or Apple) Juice

This gives the cocktail its soft, orchard-fresh flavour and slight natural sweetness. Pear juice adds a gentle floral note, while cloudy apple brings more crispness — both work beautifully.

Double Dutch Pomegranate & Basil

Floral, herbal, and lightly sparkling, this mixer lifts the entire drink with a refreshing finish. The basil complements the honey and citrus, while the pomegranate echoes the garnish for visual and flavour cohesion.

Pear, Pomegranate & Basil Garnish

The garnish not only looks elegant but also enhances the overall aroma. Pear adds freshness, pomegranate brings colour and a gentle pop, and basil ties in the herbal notes of the mixer.

Expert Tip

For a more complex twist, use a smoked honey or add a splash of fresh ginger juice. Want to make it sparkling? Swap the pear juice for a blend of juice and soda water, then finish with the Double Dutch Pomegranate & Basil for added fizz.
