Pear Ginger Champagne Cocktail

Raise a glass and say cheers to pure sparkle. My Pear Ginger Champagne Cocktail is a sophisticated festive drink, blending crisp pear juice with a warming ginger kick and finished with a lively stream of effervescent bubbles.

Is there anything more special than enjoying Champagne with friends, family, and guests during the holidays or on New Year’s Eve? December 31st just happens to be National Champagne Day, giving you another reason to pour a glass and celebrate with your favorite people.

Ingredients

• Pear juice
• Fresh ginger
• Champagne
• Pear slices for garnish

Instructions

Made in 2 easy steps. Warm a piece of fresh ginger in pear juice, then let it chill in the refrigerator to allow the ginger to infuse. Remove the ginger, and serve topped with champagne.

This simple cocktail recipe features delicious flavors of pear juice and fresh ginger relying on the sweetness of the juice it is sugar free. Since bottled pear juice is available year-round, it’s perfect for baby showers, weddings, bridal showers, a brunch summer cocktail or easy entertaining anytime.

Champagne alternatives

I prefer a good Champagne, but if you’re on a budget, sparkling wine or Prosecco works just as well. For the whole family or non-drinkers, swap in sparkling apple cider. Serve in coupe glasses or Champagne flutes to make it extra special.

Easy pear garnish

A thinly sliced pears threaded onto cocktail sticks are a simple, elegant garnish.

Serving suggestion

Pair this cocktail with easy Cheese, Chive, and Rosemary Puffs – made crazy easy thanks to store -bought puff pastry. Add Mini Roast Beef Yorkshire Pudding Bites, basically a classic British Sunday roast turned into perfect party food. Round things out with elegant nibbles like smoked salmon crostini or blinis, Mushroom Pâté with toasted baguette, soft cheeses such as brie, camembert, or triple-cream, and prosciutto-wrapped pears or melon for a sweet-savory finish. This recipe yields 2 drinks.
