Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pear (peeled and frozen)
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (for puree and garnish)
  • Pomegranate Italian soda (or sweetened pomegranate juice)
  • 4 oz. sparkling wine or ginger ale (chilled)
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Peel the ripe pear, cut it into quarters, and remove the stems and seeds.
  2. Toss the cut pears in lemon juice and water to prevent browning, then place them in a sealed bag or airtight container and freeze for an hour or two.
  3. Prepare the raspberry puree by blending fresh raspberries with a dash of lemon juice and a teaspoon of sugar. Strain the mixture to remove the seeds.
  4. Once the pears are frozen, puree them in a blender with a teaspoon of sugar.
  5. In a large cocktail glass, add a couple of teaspoons of raspberry puree, a scoop of frozen pear slushie, a few ounces of pomegranate Italian soda, and top with sparkling wine. For a non-alcoholic version, use ginger ale instead.
  6. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint if desired.
