While everyone else is freaking out about apple season, I’d like to take a second to give pears some props that they so desperately deserve.
These soft, nutritious fruits have such a pleasant, comforting flavor.
Pears often get overlooked in the produce aisle (especially by me!) but they make a wonderful addition to cocktails.
Like apples, there are many types of pears in the produce aisle.
Asian pears are crisp and firm like apples, but have the luscious, mild taste of a pear. Slightly sweet with a hint of sourness.
I really don’t eat Asian pears enough when they’re in season, but I really should try harder because they are just so good!
You guys must know by now that I love Moscow Mules. The bite of ginger and citrus goes well with so many types of alcohol.
You’ve seen me make my Yule Mule, an Apple Cider Moscow Mule, a Rosemary Kumquat Moscow Mule and Mexican Mule just to name a few.
This Asian Pear Moscow Mule is tart but succulent, fruity but delicate. It’s a lot like a traditional Moscow Mule, only with less citrus and more pear.
I’ve seen Asian pears at local grocery stores lately, but if you can’t find one, you may substitute any kind of pear!
Trust me, it will be delicious.
The spicy ginger beer in the Asian Pear Moscow Mule will warm you right up. I always go for a spicier ginger beer, because I think they balance the tart lime and soft pear so nicely.
My last piece of advice is to use a copper mule mug, if you can. Fill it with crushed ice, and your cocktail will get super cold and the mug will frost.
This cocktail would be a huge hit at your next ladies’ night or dinner party this fall. Serve it at Thanksgiving, even! // susannah

I love that it uses ginger beer. I’m supposed to buy some this week, after a friend said she was going to stump my spouse by asking for a drink we don’t keep stocked!

I’m so glad you like ginger beer! I think it is an under-loved, under-utilized drink and I love putting it in literally everything! Dark & Stormys are my favorite, favorite, favorite cocktail — if that helps you with your guests! Thanks so much for your comment, Anne.

This sounds delicious! I love pear vodka! I’ll have to try this sometime soon. 🙂
Susannah
Yes, you must. Pear vodka is really a life changer for me. I’m not huge on fruity things, but it is so faintly fruity that I think I can handle it.

Pears really do get undervalued when up against other fruits. I love pears, but for some reason I always forget about them when buying produce. I think I’m going to have to pick some up this week and try this recipe!
Susannah
You definitely should, Erika! It is so yummy. You can definitely substitute any pear if you can’t find an Asian one. Thanks so much for stopping by, Erika. Really means a lot.
