Winter Citrus Spritzer - A Winter Mocktail & Citrus Spritzer
A revitalizing citrus, pear, maple, and cardamom winter mocktail and cocktail. Served over crushed ice and topped with natural grapefruit soda, this Winter Citrus Spritzer is a celebration of renewal, harmony, and uplifting spirits.
Ingredients
- 3-4 slices pear I cut a pear quarter into slices
- 1-2 sprigs thyme
- 1/4 tsp ground Cardamom
- 1/2 ounce maple
- 1 ounce lemon freshly juiced
- 2 ounce Natural Grapefruit Soda I used Jarritos
- 1.5 ounce clear spirit of choice optional
Instructions
- Place pear, cardamom, thyme, and maple in a cocktail shaker. Muddle the ingredients together, breaking down the pear and expressing the thyme into the maple.
- Add freshly juiced lemon and ice. If you wish, you can add a clear spirit of your choice (nonalcoholic like Lyres, or alcoholic for cocktail enjoyers). Shake.
- Strain over crushed ice into desired glass (I shaved my ice down by putting it into a blender). Top with 2 ounces of natural grapefruit soda.
- Garnish with a full pear slice and thyme sprig.
