Pear, Ginger and Sage Cocktail

pear, ginger, and sage cocktail

My romance with pears continues with the most perfect way to cap an incredibly full week – a Pear, Ginger and Sage Cocktail.  Delicious fall flavours in a glass is how I would describe it.  Sweet and crisp perfection.

The mild heat of the ginger is balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the simple syrup and pear nectar, which by the way I had never tried until now.  It’s delicious and great in morning smoothies if you have any left over 😉

Happy Weekend Friends!

So which style of dining chair is your favorite?  I’d love to know in the comments below!
