Servings 4

Equipment

  • large pitcher
  • long cocktail stirrer or wooden spoon
  • 4 lowball cocktail glasses

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Ceres pear juice blend
  • 2 vanilla bean pods cut in half and partially sliced open (leaving the beans inside, they'll slowly release when the drink is stirred).
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 cup sparkling water
  • 1 lemon or lime wedge to prep glasses
  • 2 tablespoon cinnamon sugar for coating glass
  • ice
  • fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add the pear juice, maple syrup and vanilla bean pods to the pitcher. Give it a few stirs to release some of the beans. Refrigerate for 30 min or up to 4 hours.
  • Right before serving, prep the glasses by rubbing a lemon or lime wedge over the side rim of glass. Pour the cinnamon sugar onto a flat plate. Dip the glasses in the cinnamon sugar to coat.
  • Pour 1 cup of sparkling water into the pitcher and give it a stir. (I do this right before serving to preserve the fizz).
  • Add a handful of ice to each glass. Fill each glass with the sparkling vanilla pear mocktail blend.
  • Garnish each glass with vanilla bean pod and sprigs of thyme (optional).

Notes

*To make a single serving:
Garnish a lowball cocktail glass as noted above. Add ice. Pour 4 oz pear juice into glass. Add half of sliced open vanilla bean pod. Give the drink a stir. Top with sparkling water and garnish with sprig of thyme.
