2️⃣ Add the Spirits

• Pour 1 part pear vodka over the ice.
• Add 1 part grape or blueberry schnapps.

3️⃣ Add the Bubbles

Notes & Pro Tips

✔ Use Fresh Fruit for an Extra Burst of Flavor – Drop fresh blueberries, grapes, or pear slices into the glass.
✔ Chill the Glass Before Serving – Place your glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes for an even colder drink.
✔ Make It a Frozen Cocktail – Blend all ingredients with a cup of crushed ice for a slushy version.
✔ For a Stronger Cocktail – Increase the pear vodka to 1.5 parts for an extra kick.
✔ Prefer It Less Sweet? – Use club soda instead of lemon-lime soda for a drier, more refreshing taste.

Helpful Tips for the Perfect Pear & Berry Fizz

✔️ Chill Your Glass for Maximum Refreshment – Place your highball or rocks glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before serving for a crisp, cold drink.

✔️ Use Fresh Fruit for Extra Flavor – Drop fresh blueberries, grapes, or pear slices into the glass to enhance the natural fruitiness.

✔️ Stir Gently to Keep the Fizz – Avoid over-stirring so the soda water and lemon-lime soda maintain their bubbles. 🫧

✔️ Adjust the Sweetness to Your Liking –

• Prefer it sweeter? Add ½ oz simple syrup or honey.
• Want a lighter taste? Use more soda water and less lemon-lime soda.

✔️ Try a Fun Garnish for Extra Flair –

• A lemon or lime wheel adds brightness.
• A sprig of mint provides a fresh contrast.
• A sugar rim can enhance sweetness—just dip the rim in honey, then sugar.

✔️ Make It a Frozen Cocktail! – Blend all ingredients with a cup of crushed ice for a slushy, frozen version.

✔️ Pair It with the Right Food – This cocktail complements cheese platters, seafood, fresh fruit, and light appetizers.

Conservation and Storage for Pear & Berry Fizz

🔹 Best Served Fresh – Since this cocktail contains carbonated soda water and lemon-lime soda, it’s best to serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing fizz.

🔹 Short-Term Storage (Up to 1 Hour) – If you need to prepare in advance:

• Mix all liquid ingredients EXCEPT the soda water and lemon-lime soda.
• Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, add fresh soda water and lemon-lime soda to restore the fizz.

🔹 Do Not Freeze – Freezing will cause the carbonation to be lost, and the ingredients may separate upon thawing.

🔹 Refrigerate Leftover Mix (Without Carbonation) for Up to 12 Hours –

• If you have extra pear vodka and schnapps mix, store it in an airtight bottle in the refrigerator.
• Add fresh soda water and lemon-lime soda when serving to restore the bubbly texture.

🔹 Batch Preparation for Parties –

Add soda water and lemon-lime soda just before serving to keep the fizz fresh.

Pre-mix the spirits (vodka, schnapps) and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
