Method

Squeeze finely diced ginger through a garlic press and collect juice, or use a juicer, until you have 2-3 teaspoons of juice. In a blender, combine pear nectar, asian pear, lemon juice, sugar, and ginger juice. Blend until smooth. If desired, put mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Pour into a pitcher, add ginger ale, and divide evenly between 4-6 glasses.

 

Notes: I have always loved ginger ale and frequently experiment with making my own. This drink has such a lively, fresh taste that is both sophisticated and simple.

 

Number of Servings: 4-6
