This Rosemary Pear Mocktail needs to be on your zero proof rotation with my Pomegranate Mocktail Sour, Hot & Sleepy Girl Mocktail, and Citrus Basil Smash Mocktail! I love using seasonal produce in my cocktails and mocktails, so fresh pears were the perfect fall fruit to highlight in this drink.

This pear mocktail is also a great option for batching, if you’re hosting or attending a party for a non-alcoholic option. I juiced fresh pears here. If you decide to opt for store bought pear juice, adjust the honey depending on your sweetness preference. If you’re craving this as a cocktail, a shot of gin or vodka would work great in this drink.

Recipe Ingredients

  • Pear Juice: I made fresh pear juice using the Ventray Ginnie Juicer which was gifted to me!
  • Rosemary Sprig: Plus more for garnish.
  • Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed for the best taste.
  • Honey: Look for 100% pure honey. Simple syrup or agave also works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of pears should I use for juicing?

A firm pear works best for juicing. I recommend Anjou, Bosc, or Bartlett. Find pears that are slightly soft to the touch, but not mushy.

Can I make pear juice without a juicer?

Yes! Blend pears with water and strain through a fine mesh strainer if you don’t have a juicer. Store bought pear juice also works in this mocktail, just be sure to taste it first because it can sometimes be sweeter than fresh. Adjust the addition of honey according to your sweetness preference.

How to prepare a batch of Rosemary Pear Mocktails for a group?

Multiply the recipe by desired servings. Prepare honey syrup in advance by combining 1 part hot water with 1 part honey. Add rosemary and allow it to infuse while the mixture cools. Remove and discard rosemary. Add all ingredients to a pitcher. Serve over ice.
