Prosecco & Pear Juice Cocktail
This prosecco-pear cocktail is uniquely flavorful and delicious, with ginger liqueur as the secret ingredient. The combination includes pear nectar and sparkling wine for a refreshing party drink. Serve this mimosa-style drink for brunch, at cocktail parties, ladies night, or happy hour.
When I was thinking about drink recipes, I considered how pears and ginger make a great combination in desserts so why not in cocktails too! Top it off with sparkling wine, champagne or prosecco and you’ve got a pear mimosa that’s excellent for all types of occasions from showers to brunch parties.
You’ll love that it’s got just 3 ingredients and guests can pour their own in an instant, or you can set up a tray to pass out as they arrive.
Ingredient Notes
- Pear juice. I use pear nectar which I typically find in a can in the Mexican food aisle of the grocery store, or a larger bottle is sometimes available in the juice aisle. Any pear juice will work well, though.
- Ginger liqueur. My favorite brand is Domaine De Canton Ginger liqueur. It’s a French liqueur and has intense flavor so you only need a small amount. Plus, the pretty bottle looks great on your home bar or bar cart!
- Prosecco. I use Prosecco for this because it’s a dry sparkling wine and pairs well with other sweeter ingredients. Of course you can substitute with any sparkling wine like brut champagne or cava. Just make sure it’s not a sweet variety.
Tips to Make It
- Make sure your juice and prosecco are well chilled and very cold.
- Simply add the juice and liqueur to a flute glass or coupe, and then top with the prosecco.
- Add a pear garnish to the side of the glass by cutting a fresh pear into thin slices. If you keep them attached at one end you can fan them out and put a drink pick through to hang on the side.
Quick Tip
If you only want one or two drinks, use the mini bottles (called a split) of prosecco or sparkling wine.
Enjoy this pear cocktail for fall and the holidays. It’s especially good for a brunch party or a breakfast bar.
It makes a festive drink for Easter brunch celebrations and mother’s day cocktails.
Make it your signature drink for a yellow themed baby shower or a “perfect pair (pear)” bridal shower.
