With fresh nutmeg and ginger, this delicious Spiced Pear Cocktail with rum is refreshing and full of fall flavor. It's a great Thanksgiving drink idea!
Muddle the fresh ginger and pear juice in a cocktail shaker.
Add spiced rum, a few grates of fresh grated nutmeg and ice.
Shake well.
Strain in to a cocktail glass filled with ice.
Top with fresh grated nutmeg.
Edible flowers as garnish are optional but gorgeous.
Notes
Did you know you can now get some alcohol on Amazon Fresh?? They have a few different Spiced Rums, but I'm sure they are tasty too.
If you want to make a batch of these cocktails, consider buying ginger juice. It will be much faster than having to muddle fresh ginger for multiple drinks. Just start with a little and add more if needed. Ginger is STRONG!
To infuse the drink with more ginger flavor you can use the juice as mentioned above or you can grate the ginger so the pieces are much smaller and release more juice.
In a pinch, you could use 1/4 tsp ground ginger in place of fresh ginger but you will lose that bite and heat that the fresh root brings. Taste and add more as needed.
