Mocktail Ingredients

Pear Juice

Pear juice is the star of this mocktail, bringing a delicate sweetness that pairs beautifully with cinnamon. Look for 100% pear juice with no added sugar if possible.

Cinnamon Tea

Cinnamon tea gives this drink its lovely warming spice without adding caffeine, provided you use a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea. Cinnamon also contains plant compounds with antioxidant properties, making it a lovely addition to your drinks.

Fresh Lemon Juice

A little fresh lemon juice balances the sweetness of the pear and maple syrup, giving the mocktail a delicious, refreshing finish. Freshly squeezed is always our preference!

Maple Syrup

Just a small amount of maple syrup rounds out the flavors and you can easily adjust the amount depending on the sweetness of your pear juice.

Tips + Tricks

  • Brew your tea ahead of time: Make the cinnamon tea in advance and allow it to cool completely before preparing your mocktail. You can even keep a batch in the fridge for a few days.
  • Adjust to taste: Pear juices can vary in sweetness, so taste your mocktail before serving and adjust the maple syrup or lemon juice if needed.
  • Add a little sparkle: For a lighter, sparkling version, top your finished drink with a splash of soda water.
  • Add a little something extra: A cinnamon sugar rim adds a lovely finishing touch. You can also garnish with a cinnamon stick, dehydrated lemon slice, or star anise.

If you’re looking for an easy non-alcoholic drink to enjoy at the end of the day, be sure to give this one a try! The combination of sweet pear, cinnamon, and fresh lemon is equal parts refreshing and calming, making it perfect to finish off your evening.
