Ingredients
- 1 ripe pear peeled and cored
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup or another vegan sweetener
- 1 bottle of vegan champagne or sparkling wine chilled (ensure it's labeled vegan, as some sparkling wines use animal products in processing)
- Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish
Instructions
Pear Puree Preparation:
- Chop the peeled and cored pear into small pieces.
- In a blender, combine the pear pieces, lemon juice, and agave syrup.
- Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water to achieve a pourable consistency.
Assembling the Cocktail:
- Pour about 2 tablespoons of the pear puree into each champagne flute.
- Slowly fill the rest of the glass with chilled vegan champagne or sparkling wine. Be careful as it will fizz up when it meets the puree.
Garnishing:
- Gently stir the cocktail with a cocktail stirrer or a spoon to mix the pear puree and champagne.
- Garnish with a small sprig of fresh thyme.
Serving:
- Serve immediately while the champagne is effervescent and the pear flavor is fresh.
