Pear Ginger Champagne Cocktail
This Pear Ginger Champagne Cocktail is an oldie but goodie recipe of mine that I just updated with better pictures and a video. Pear juice is infused with fresh ginger and mixed with Champagne or sparkling beverage of your choice, for a delicious, festive drink.
Is there anything more special than enjoying Champagne for a celebration like the holidays or New Year’s Eve? 31st December also just happens to be National Champagne Day, so there is another reason to imbibe.
This is a simple drink with delicious flavors of pear juice and fresh ginger. Since bottled pear juice is available all year round, this cocktail can be made anytime of the year for baby showers, weddings, bridal showers or entertaining.
Champagne options
I prefer a good champagne, but you can also use sparkling wine or prosecco. Make it for the whole family or the non-drinkers by using sparkling apple cider. Serve in champagne flutes to make them extra special.
Serving suggestion
I was entertaining a few friends a couple of weekends ago and tested out a couple of new recipes on them to go with this Pear Ginger Champagne Cocktail. The first recipe was Cheese, Chive and Rosemary Puffs, that are crazy easy because they use store bought puff pastry.
The second recipe I tested on them was Mini Roast Beef Yorkshire Pudding Bites (< click text for recipe). They’re like a British Sunday beef roast dinner in party form. Luckily everything was a hit and I had happy guests.
