Ingredients
Pear Ginger Clove Simple Syrup
- 3 whole Cloves
- 2 large slices Fresh Ginger Root
- 1 cubed Pear
- 4 ounces Water
- 4 ounces Sugar
Pear Puree
- 4 cubed Pears
- 4 Tablespoons Water
Cocktail Ratio for 1 Serving
- 4 Ice Cubes
- 1 ounce Pear Puree
- 0.5 ounce Pear Ginger Clove Simple Syrup
- 0.75 ounce Fresh Lemon Juice
- 2 ounces Gin
Directions
This pretty pear cocktail is the perfect fall and winter drink!
All you need are 5 ingredients and a bit of prep to make a flavor-packed simple syrup and pear puree.
For the pear puree, you just need ripe pear and a splash of water. Blend it up then strain.
The homemade pear, ginger and clove infused simple syrup is a game changer and easy to make.
I personally prefer this cocktail with gin but you can also use vodka! Plain or vanilla infused vodka pairs really well with pear.
After the ingredients are prepped, it’s all added to a cocktail shaker with ice.
It is then poured over a large ice cube in a short glass.
If you prefer it a bit sparkly, add it to a tall glass with sparkling water or tonic!
Like most of my recipes, this one is customizable as well.
If you are hosting a party you can also make a big batch of this in advance.
Keeping the same ratios, add all of the ingredients to a large jug then add batches to your cocktail shaker with ice, shake and pour as you are serving.
Since this is a pretty pear cocktail, I recommend garnishing with thin slices of fresh pear or ginger!

Hi, maybe I’m missing it, but I don’t see measurements/ratios. Can you share?
Hi Zack! If you are on mobile, the ingredients with measurements are listed under the first image (main image). If you are on desktop/tablet, the ingredients are on the left side of the page.
This recipe is bogus. There is no measurement for the ginger. 2 big pieces? Sliced comes in later, only via mention. Toasted ginger??? For how long??? Peeled, or not? Pears: peeled, not? I wish it had told me to peel them because my puree now needs to be strained. 2 tbsp of water was not enough for my vitamix to be happy. How much pear? 4 pears = how many cups or ounces? I used three (large) pears and have 3 full cups of puree. Way above what the 4 cocktail recipe calls for when it comes to making the individual 4 drinks. This recipe should be available on mobile, loaded appropriately with measurements, or not posted. I’m lucky enough to have a home printer, but otherwise I’d have to write it out from my desk top? There’s no way I’m cooking with a laptop next to me. Please consider taking the extra effort to make your recipes, exactly as written, to see which steps are left out or “assumed”. Please make online recipes with mobile websites actually accessible for all people.
Hi Jean, first off – thank you for commenting as this helps with SEO and more people will be able to find my recipe. My entire website is available on mobile, desktop and tablet. For the ginger, the measurement is two large slices not pieces, the measurement does not have to be exact. If there are no instructions to peel, there is no need. In regards to “toasted ginger” I have written clear instructions: Allow to toast and get fragrant on medium heat for a few minutes. No need to explain the other issues you mentioned. I suggest you appreciate that I have taken the time to 1. develop the recipe 2. shot images 3. created this post and 4. offer this to you for free and I don’t have any annoying ads on my site – You are welcome! If you do not like my website and recipes, that is cool too, there are millions of others. That said, sounds like you struggle with written recipes, which is ok. May I suggest searching for video recipes on youtube, instagram, facebook or tiktok? Lot’s if great and free content there as well. Wishing you a wonderful day!
