Rosemary Pear Mocktail

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a big drinker. It’s just something I have to be in the mood for which is maybe a few times a year. Even then I may not finish my first drink. I’m wasteful, I know. That’s why I’m the one with the water most of the time.

If your like me looking for a mocktail this recipe for Rosemary Pear Mocktails is for you.

By far, my most favorite part of this recipe is the simple syrup. The rosemary infused syrup is like sugar heaven for your tastebuds. I don’t think you guys understand. You won’t believe me until you make it yourself. At this point I’m convinced I need a stash of different infused syrups to naturally flavor foods like my oatmeal, plain yogurt, and things.

This recipe is smooth, slightly sweet with a sharp flavor from the rosemary. The ingredients you will need:

Fresh Rosemary Springs

Sugar

Water

Pear Juice

Lemon Juice

Sparkling Water

How to Make Rosemary Pear Mocktails

Now to the mocktail

Take the glass and add about 3/4 worth of ice. Pour pear juice, rosemary simple syrup, lemon juice, and sparkling water.
