Spiced Pear Gin Fizz
Cinnamon and cardamom
About this Recipe
The gin fizz was popularized in America during the early 1900s. We updated the classic fizz with the addition of spiced pear nectar, offering hints of warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom. You’ll definitely have some spiced pear nectar left over, so get creative and drizzle it on pancakes or ice cream, use it as a sauce for beignets or add a few tablespoons to a glass of Champagne for a Winter Bellini. Or just freeze it in ice cube trays for later use. The puree will keep, (refrigerated) for 4-5 days or frozen for 1 year.
