Pear Pineapple Spiced Rum Cider by Shanna Schad www.pineappleandcoconut.com Makes 2 cocktails
- 4 ounces Koloa Spiced Rum
- 6 ounces pear cider Non-alcoholic
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon meyer lemon juice
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoon simple syrup
- 2 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
- Thinly sliced pear rings
- Thinly sliced pineapple wedges
Pour the simple syrup onto a shallow dish and the cinnamon sugar onto another shallow dish.
Dip rims of glasses into simple syrup then into cinnamon sugar. Let dry.
In a cocktail shaker add ice and combine the cocktail ingredients. Shake well and strain into two cocktail glasses. I used coupe champagne glasses. Garnish with a thin slices of pear and pineapple
This is also delicious served warm:
Heat the pear cider, pineapple and lemon juice in a saucepan until steaming, but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the rum. Pour into two glasses and serve immediately.
Simple Syrup is a 1:1 water to sugar ratio. Boil equal parts until sugar is dissolved then let cool completely. Syrup stores well in refrigerator up to a month.
If you can’t find non-alcoholic pear cider - pear juice or pear nectar can be substituted. Just add in a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg for to make it “cider” about ⅛ teaspoon each
