This spiced pear cocktail is seasonal, warming, and delicious.
And it is going to make staying in with friends this weekend for game night that much more cozy and enjoyable.
I love using spiced syrups in drinks – they bring in that added layer of flavor. Ginger, chai, pear layer together seamlessly. This spiced pear cocktail makes me think of crunchy leaves, crisp air, and the winter sun. Luckily, there are still some beautiful pears and apples at the market!
Use whatever pear nectar you prefer. I used this not too sweet French one from Alain Milliat (in the US, it is available at Williams Sonoma).
Happy Friday! {ps.} I am trying to shoot some more video for the site so, stay tuned!

Sounds great. I had a wonderful cocktail in Berlin made with a similar concentrate where they used just drops. Where did you find yours???
The chai concentrate? I bought it at a kitchen supply/goods store here in NYC, but it is this brand: https://food52.com/shop/products/2629-chai-tea-turmeric-concentrate?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyf6Ms96P2QIV3oSzCh3UegkfEAQYASABEgKzDfD_BwE
