What do you do when you’ve bought a bunch of pears and your kids refuse to eat them? Pear Gin Fizz, amigos. While it won’t fix the issue of your kids being fussy eaters, it will provide a both beautiful and tasty drink and that’s almost just as good. I also love gin, and if you’re a fellow gin lover, this cocktail is for you. The sweet pear syrup combined with the pine-tree-like flavour of the alcohol make me more than a little happy (though probably not as happy as I’d be if my kids agreed to eat their fruits and vegetables without a mental breakdown – but small wins people).
