Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this drink sweeter or stronger?
Absolutely! Add more lemon-lime soda for sweetness or increase the pear vodka for a stronger punch.
What’s the best schnapps to use?
Either grape schnapps for a candy-like flavor or blueberry schnapps for a more tart, fruity edge. Both work beautifully.
Can I make a large batch for a party?
Yes! Multiply each ingredient by 6–8 and serve in a punch bowl or pitcher. Add the soda just before serving and stir gently.
What if I can’t find pear vodka?
Try apple vodka, cucumber vodka, or plain vodka + a splash of pear juice as an easy substitute.
