Pear Ginger Fizz

Preparation Steps

1. In a blender, puree the chopped pears and grated ginger until smooth.
2. Strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much juice as possible.
3. In the pitcher, whisk together the pear-ginger juice, lime juice, and honey until the honey is dissolved.
4. Add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently.
5. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
6. Just before serving, stir in the chopped fresh mint leaves.
7. Fill glasses with ice and pour the Pear Ginger Fizz over the ice.
8. Garnish each glass with a sliced pear and a lime wedge.
