Light and bubbly with a hint of cinnamon spice, our Spiced Pear Spritz is the perfect way to toast the season. Refreshing enough for late summer, cozy enough for early fall.
INGREDIENTS
(makes 1)
1 ½ oz. vodka
1 oz. pear nectar or juice
½ oz. fresh lemon juice
½ oz. cinnamon simple syrup
Prosecco, chilled
pear slice or thyme sprig, for garnish
METHOD
for the simple syrup
Combine ½ cup water, ½ cup sugar, and 2 cinnamon sticks in a saucepan. Simmer until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool and strain before using. Add vodka, pear juice, lemon juice, and cinnamon syrup in an ice-filled shaker. Shake well, then strain into a chilled glass filled with ice. Top with Prosecco and garnish as desired.
Always drink responsibly. Never drink, then drive.
