This sparkling drink blends sweet pear nectar with a lightly spiced cardamom simple syrup, topped with cold soda water for a crisp finish. The cardamom syrup is quick to make on the stovetop and keeps well for repeat batches. Serve it as a refreshing non-alcoholic option at brunch, or stir in a splash of vodka or gin for an evening cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 4 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
  • 1/2 cup pear nectar, chilled
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup chilled soda water
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 thin pear slice, for garnish

Method

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and crushed cardamom pods. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  2. Remove the syrup from heat and let it steep until fully cooled, about 15 minutes, then strain out the cardamom pods.

  3. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.

  4. Pour the pear nectar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the cooled cardamom syrup over the ice.

  5. Top with chilled soda water and stir gently to combine.

  6. Garnish with a thin pear slice and serve immediately.
