A refreshing and sparkling cocktail that combines ripe pears, lavender, and mint for a delightful and invigorating flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe Green Anjou USA Pear, cored and cut into 3/4-inch chunks
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 filterbag Tazo Refresh Herbal Infusion Mint Tea with Tarragon
- 3/8 cup boiling water
- 3/8 cup Lavender DRY Soda (by DRY Soda Co.)
- 3/8 cup Anjou Pear Puree
- 1 fresh lavender sprig, for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the pear chunks, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan, then bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the pears are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated. Let the mixture cool.
- Process or blend the pears until smooth, then refrigerate the puree until cold.
- Steep the mint tea filterbag in boiling water for 5 minutes, then remove the filterbag and refrigerate the tea until cold.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cold tea, lavender soda, and pear puree, then stir gently to reduce some of the carbonation.
- Pour 1-2 cups of the beverage mix over 2-3 ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, and shake gently for about 15 seconds until well chilled. Strain the mix into a glass, garnish with a fresh lavender sprig, and serve immediately.
