Dry July: Monday Distillery Pear & Vanilla Fizz Mocktail
If you’re partaking in Dry July, or just looking for ways to cut back – Monday Distillery provides us with so many incredible, non-alcoholic options. In this recipe, the vanilla bean infuses into the pear syrup and you are able to control how much sugar you add. This mocktail can be as sweet or tart as you would like it to be.
Whip up this non-alcoholic Pear and Vanilla ‘Gin’ Fizz from @fooddesignstudio
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pears
- 1/4 cup sugar of your choice
- 1/4 cup water

Method:
1. Place the chopped pears into a small high speed blender and blend into a puree.

3. Remove from the heat, pour into a heat proof glass and place in the fridge to cool down for 30 minutes.
