Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe pears, sliced
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 4 whole cloves
- Prosecco, chilled
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pear slices (for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Spiced Pear Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 ripe pears (sliced), 2 cinnamon sticks, and 4 whole cloves. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the pears release their flavor.
- Strain the Syrup: Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean jar or bottle, discarding the solids. Let the syrup cool completely before using.
- Chill the Prosecco: Be sure your prosecco is well-chilled for the best flavor and fizz.
- Assemble the Cocktail: In a champagne flute, add 2 tablespoons of spiced pear syrup and 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Top with prosecco, pouring slowly to preserve the bubbles.
- Garnish: Add a thin slice of fresh pear to the glass for a decorative touch.
Notes
