Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. The freshness really makes a difference in cocktails.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of demerara syrup.
  • If you want a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the vodka and add a bit more sparkling pear juice.
  • To make a large batch for a party, multiply the ingredients as needed and mix in a pitcher, then serve over ice in individual mugs.
