Pear-fectly Bubbly: Cinnamon Pear Soda Vibes

Okay, but like, have you ever wanted a drink that tastes like a cozy hug? ☕️ That’s basically what this Cinnamon Pear Soda is. Seriously, it’s fizzy, it’s fruity, and it just makes you feel all warm inside. I’m all about that fall vibe, even if the weather’s still playing games (I see you, summer).

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, imagine we’re at the store (probably fighting over the last ripe pear because, why not?). You need just a handful of things:

– That ripe pear — make sure it’s juicy, like it’s ready to burst with flavor.
– Cinnamon — like, a tablespoon. You know, that warm, cozy spice that makes everything better.
– Honey or maple syrup (optional, but like, why would you skip this?). Sweetness!
– Sparkling water — because we need that fizz, right?
– Vanilla extract (alcohol-free, cause I’m fancy like that).
– Ice cubes — to chill it down.

And maybe some fancy cinnamon sticks for garnish if you’re feeling extra.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Honestly, I whip this up when I’m craving something refreshing but also comforting. I made it for the first time when my friend was over and feeling kinda down. We were just hanging out, and I thought, “what the heck, let’s make something fun.” So, I threw stuff in a pot, and BOOM! Magic happened. We sipped it while binging our favorite shows, and she was like, “This is the best thing ever!” It turned the whole vibe around. Now, every time I make it, I think of that day.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Listen up, this is key! When you’re cooking the pear and cinnamon, make sure to let it get all soft and mushy. Seriously, the longer it cooks, the more the flavors meld together. Don’t rush it! It’s like nurturing a baby…but a spicy-sweet baby.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

Okay, let’s save you from my mistakes here:

– Don’t skip the straining step! If you do, you’ll end up with chunky soda, and no one wants that.
– Check that pear! Overripe is great, but not squishy. You know what I mean?
– Use cold sparkling water! Nothing sadder than a lukewarm drink, right? 🤢
– Taste as you go — if it’s not sweet enough, add more honey or syrup!

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If there’s any left (which, let’s be real, there probably won’t be), just pop it in the fridge. Make sure it’s in an airtight container because we don’t want to lose those bubbly vibes! But honestly, this is best fresh. You could make the pear mixture ahead of time and then throw it together when you’re ready to sip.

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

You should totally try making some Spiced Apple Cider or Ginger Lemonade next! Both are also like hugs in a glass. Super cozy!

So, what’s your go-to cozy drink? I need new ideas! 🍹
