Spiced Pear Moscow Mule

The holidays are always a cause for celebration, and celebration calls for festive cocktails to share with friends and family. If you're hosting this year and need a drink to satisfy any palate, try whipping up this Spiced Pear Moscow Mule made with Harry & David pears!

A classic Moscow Mule is one of the simplest classic cocktails to prepare. With just a can of ginger beer, a splash of vodka, a squeeze of lime, and an iconic copper mug, this drink packs a spicy and flavorful punch. we're putting a twist on the traditional recipe with the addition of a spiced pear simple syrup. Just cook down some delicious Royal Riviera Pears and your favorite winter spices to create a syrup that will add a subtle sweetness to any beverage. The amount of syrup can be adjusted depending on how much sweetness you like, but we prefer a 1:2 ratio of syrup to alcohol. And, depending on your taste in spirits, the vodka can be substituted for rum (called a Dark and Stormy) or whiskey (a Kentucky Mule). Not a drinker? Ginger Beer is non-alcoholic and tastes amazing with the addition of the syrup and lime. Cheers!
