Hiiiiiiii friends!

Happy Thirsty Thursday, my fourth favorite day of the week!

I feel like the top three days of the week are apparent, but in case you haven’t had your morning cup of coffee yet, I’m referring to Saturday, Sunday and Friday. And in that order. Obviously. 😇

Anyways, before we get to today’s early fall flavored libation, can we talk about something seriously scary??

I’m going to pretend I heard you say, ‘Yes’. One way conversations are great like that.

So, scary FACT – Thanksgiving is exactly 8 weeks away.

I KNOW. Say whaaaaaa?

EIGHT WEEKS. Or only 56 short days!

I just realized I need to get on my holiday game. Because preparedness is next to Godliness.

Oh wait… that’s cleanliness.

Okay, how about this lil’ nugget of truth on preparedness – it wasn’t raining when Noah build the arch.

So I need heeeeeeellllppp!

Do you guys have any holiday dishes you’d love to see with a No Spoon touch?? Please, PLEASE share your requests in the comments section below!

Ginger Pear Bourbon Cocktail

Pears! To me they are the waaaaay underappreciated early fall fruit. Everyone is in such a hurry to pick some apples or pluck some pumpkins that they forget about the humble, yet delicious pear.

Well friends, today we are fixing that problem. And adding booze for good measure.

Enter THIS cocktail.

With mellow, fruity pear; warm, cozy ginger; subtle honey sweetness, a touch of tart lemon and a generous splash of boozy bourbon, this drink is early fall in cocktail form.

Warm and cozy, yet fruity and sweet – what are you waiting for?

Go get your cocktail on already. I mean, I’m pretty sure it’s 5 o’clock somewhere.

Notes, Tips & Tricks for the best Ginger Pear Bourbon Cocktail recipe:

  1. Always make your cocktails to taste! The measurements in the recipe below are just my recommendations. Use the recipe below as a cocktail guideline, and not the Ginger & Pear Bourbon Splash rule book. Like more bourbon? Add more! Like your cocktail sweeter? Use a heavier hand with the honey simple syrup. Really love the taste of ginger? Top your cocktail off with a few ounces of ginger ale. Do you people.
  2. If you are feeling particularly lazy, you don’t need to use the stove for the honey simple syrup. You can just use a Mason jar and HOT water. Add the hot water, honey and ginger to the jar and shake vigorously until the honey dissolves. Set it aside to steep for at least 20 minutes before using.
  3. The ginger honey simple syrup will keep, covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, so feel free to make a double batch. It tastes delicious added to tea. Or, you could just have it on hand for all your bourbon cocktail needs.
  4. The crystalized ginger garnish compliments the drink perfectly, so if you have some on hand I definitely recommend you use it!

Get your Thirsty Thursday on in early fall style with a Ginger Pear Bourbon Cocktail or two!

Until next week friends, cheers! *Clinks all around*

    This is an incredible tasting drink.
    I have made this several times in the past couple weeks – a fan favorite for my wife and I – using nectar or juice. Happy with either.
    To make the Honey-Ginger Syrup I used equal parts local honey and Monin’s Ginger Syrup.
    Ginger Ale? I like Red Rock or some other “craft” Ginger Ale/Beer. Garnish with a slice of red pear.

    If you haven’t tried it, also look in this site for the Apple & Gin Autumn Cocktail – nice balance n this drink, too!

      This recipe can easily be scaled up or down. If you take your mouse and hover over the number of servings in the recipe card you will see you can adjust the number of servings, which in turn will automatically adjust the measurements of the ingredients in the recipe. Let me know if you have any other questions!
      I hope your daughter has a beautiful bridal shower! Congratulations!!!!

    This was good – but I felt like the ginger ale and bourbon completely overwhelmed the delicate pear flavor. The ginger honey simple syrup is excellent. I made extra and will look for other uses for it. Pear liqueur / vodka / pear nectar with the syrup the pear taste really comes through.

      Hey Val,
      This isn’t a pear cocktail, so the pear flavor is meant to be delicate. The ginger ale is to be used to taste and I only add a splash to finish the cocktail off at the end, which should in no way overwhelm any flavor. Glad you enjoyed the simple syrup and your vodka cocktail sounds great. Cheers!

      Hi Emily! I’m not sure if anyone else has scaled this up to a pitcher, but I certainly have! The measurements are easily adjustable by simply multiplying the ingredients by however many you would like to serve.
      Just in case you need a little help, here are the measurements for 10 cocktails:
      20 ounces Bourbon
      20 ounces Pear Nectar or Juice
      5 Lemons – juiced
      10 ounce Ginger Honey Simple Syrup*
      Ginger Ale , to taste
      *Ginger Honey Simple Syrup: (enough for 10 cocktails)
      1 ¼ Cup Honey
      1 ¼ Cup Water
      5’’ piece of Ginger – peeled and thinly sliced

      Hope you give this cocktail a try! Cheers and thank you so much for stopping by!

    This year has flown by and I can’t even begin to think about upcoming holidays because I feel like it’s still summer (because I refuse to believe that winter is right around the corner). Although, I’d drink this cocktail any season and love the ginger in it. I’m gonna make a huge pitcher of this and sit down with it to plan some holiday dishes 😉

    Ooooo…the ginger sounds wonderful with pear. Thanks for the holiday alarm. Yikes! I needed that big time. I am so behind. And then there’s halloween first. We have an exchange student from Shanghai living with us for the school year and he is all excited about going trick or treating for the first time. The thing is , he’s 18 and nearly six feet tall. Not sure people will open the door to him. Also not sure what he should dress up as….hmmmm….ideas anyone? I think Thanksgiving and Christmas will be easier holidays for sure. I love this great bourbon drink and your photos are ahhh-mazing friend! Have a wonderful week, I know it will improve once Monday is done! XO

    Hahaha! Yup, I see how you can get preparedness and cleanliness mixed up – but I gotta stop laughing as gosh – the Christmas is almost here! YIKES! Where did the time go???
    By the way, you are right, pears are so under appreciated and under-rated – and guess what I have hanging out in a bowl in my kitchen – yup, 7 pears waiting to get boozy with me cos Monday needs some booziness in it to make it Mondayrific right?! Gosh, I sound like I’ve been hitting the booze already – though I promise I haven’t!
    Here’s hoping your week is off to a wonderful start, sweet Cheyanne! xoxo

Agreed, the pear does not get enough attention and is one of my favorites, even more so than apple. Only 8 weeks? Then that means Christmas is only….argh!

    Your fourth fave day? Lolol. Did I ever tell you that I love the way you phrase things? Sassy, sweet and just a bit (or more) spicy! Hmm… I really do think of everything in terms of flavors and foods. Yep, that’s why we’re besties. 😉 Your order is totally logical. Because Sunday’s the end of the weekend and Friday, it’s just begun. Saturday is the clear winner, of course. Oh wow on Thanksgiving. When you put it that way, it’s basically two days away. Haha. YES on preparedness! Type A besties, right? Lol. How about a pumpkin pie cocktail??? Come on, you just admitted you had one that you LOVED!! And your cocktails are famous… so it only makes sense. Also, how about a cranberry walnut hummus? 🙂 Just my two cents–don’t throw them back at me, they would totally hurt. Haha. Can’t wait to chat with you this weekend (perhaps even on your #1 day!!!) Mwah! xoxo Pinned, duh!

    I love da pears, so good cold and crisp or slow baked in something. Now you go and pull this one out… love it. I’ll skip the Jim as I don’t drink anymore, but the rest sounds lovely and the ginger honey syrup could find it’s way in many things. 🙂 Cheers!

I seriously can ‘t believe it! Where is the time going? Where, I ask ya? Cray cray! Ok, I’ll calm down 😉 Just hand me one of those cocktails, will ya 🙂 Hehehehe. Love the ginger honey simple syrup in here. I’ll have to show this one to hubby too ’cause he is a bourbon fan. Pinned, of course. This is a perfect one to share on Thanksgiving (or possibly today) and get my fancy on with some crystalized ginger garnish. Love it! Have a wonderful weekend. xoxo
    P.S. I think a side recipe would be wonderful for a thanksgiving idea. We all know we are having turkey so sides are a nice way to add some different elements. I’m sure you are gonna come up with something delicious girl!

    Cheers girl! You know I’m all about the bourbon and this looks like my new favorite fall cocktail! Love the ginger-pear combo here and you’re absolutely right, even I tend to overlook the poor pear. I’ll have to fix that right up with one of these! Pinned!
    As for the holidays, you prepare away. I’m all about getting ahead at this time of year cause it goes fast and life gets crazy! I weirdly remember last year you promising us some manner of turkey — I think you ran out of time or didn’t want to buy an entire additional turkey to make/photograph the recipe; how is that still in my head?! — so I definitely want to see that. Would love your spin on a favorite dressing/stuffing and maybe some sort of festive fall appetizer since it’s the season of entertaining. I’m pretty much excited for whatever ya got 😉
    Have a wonderful weekend!
