4 servings
For the ginger-pear syrup
- 3 medium ripe pears (such as bartlett or anjou), peeled, cored, and roughly chopped
- 1 ½ cups water
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp honey
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.
To assemble
- 3 cups sparkling water, chilled
- ice cubes, for serving
For serving
- fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
- thin pear slices, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the chopped pears, water, and sliced ginger in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 12–15 minutes, until the pears are completely soft and beginning to break down.

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the honey until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
