The Floral Fizz: Make This Sparkling Pear & Elderflower Cooler

Sparkling Pear & Elderflower Cooler Recipe
This refreshing and easy-to-make cooler is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. The combination of pear juice and elderflower cordial creates a delightful floral and fruity flavor, while the sparkling water adds a touch of fizz.
Ingredients:
• 4 ounces pear juice (chilled)
• 2 ounces elderflower cordial or syrup (chilled)
• Club soda or sparkling water (chilled)
• Ice cubes
• Pear slices (optional, for garnish)
• Fresh mint sprigs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Fill a glass with ice cubes.
2. Pour in the chilled pear juice.
3. Add the elderflower cordial or syrup.
4. Top it off with chilled club soda or sparkling water, leaving a little space at the top.
5. Garnish (optional): Add a few slices of pear and a sprig of fresh mint for extra visual appeal and a touch of mint flavor.
Tips:
• Adjust the amount of elderflower cordial or syrup to your taste preference. Start with a little and add more if desired.
• For a more intense pear flavor, use fresh pear puree instead of pear juice. Simply blend a peeled pear until smooth and add 2-3 tablespoons to the drink.
• This recipe is easily scalable. Just multiply the ingredients by the number of coolers you want to make.
• If you don't have elderflower cordial or syrup, you can substitute it with a splash of elderflower liqueur for a slightly boozy twist (adult version only!).
• Leftover pear juice or cordial can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy this delightful and refreshing Sparkling Pear & Elderflower Cooler!
