Remove from heat and set aside to steep for 20 minutes. Strain into a container, discarding ginger, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Mix the cocktail: Combine bourbon, pear juice, lemon and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice. Vigorously shake until chilled.
Top with ginger ale: Pour over ice in a cocktail glass and top with a bit of ginger ale.
Garnish and serve: Adorn your cocktail glasswith pear slices, a lemon wedge and a few pieces of crystallized ginger on a skewer. Enjoy!
