Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Pitcher
  • Fine mesh strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cups pear juice
  • 2 cups club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Thin pear slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the chopped pears, grated ginger, honey, and pear juice in a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth.
  • Set a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher and pour the blended mixture through it. Press on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible, then discard the pulp.
  • Add the cinnamon sticks to the pitcher and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
  • Remove the cinnamon sticks. Stir in the club soda and add ice cubes to fill the pitcher.
  • Pour into glasses and top each serving with a thin pear slice.

Notes

Make the pear base a few hours ahead and keep it chilled, then add the club soda right before guests arrive so the punch stays fizzy. If the pears are very sweet, start with less honey and adjust after tasting the strained mixture. Skip the strainer only if you prefer a thicker texture with more pear body.
