Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pasteurized pear nectar 250 g, chilled
  • 1 cup ginger ale 237 ml, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 30 g
  • 2 thin pear slices 20 g total, from a washed pear
  • ice for serving

Equipment

  • 2 Serving glasses at least 12-ounce capacity
  • 1 Spoon

Method
 

  1. Chill the pear nectar and ginger ale before starting; the 5-minute time assumes cold ingredients. Wash the pear and lemon under running water before cutting.
  2. Divide pear nectar and lemon juice between two glasses of at least 12-ounce capacity. Stir, then add a few ice cubes to each.
  3. Slowly add half the ginger ale to each glass and stir gently once. Add one thin pear slice to each glass and serve immediately.
  4. For advance preparation, combine only nectar and lemon juice, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Add soda, ice, and freshly sliced pear just before serving. Refrigerate leftovers promptly; they will lose carbonation.

Notes

Time assumes chilled ingredients. Nutrition is estimated per glass, including one pear slice. Fiber and saturated fat are omitted because the ginger ale label does not quantify them. Nectar brands vary in sweetness.
