Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ripe pear
- 2 mandarin oranges
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup cold sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice
- 6 ice cubes
- 4 leaves fresh mint leaves
Instructions
Peel the ripe pear, core it, and chop it into small pieces.
Peel the mandarin oranges and separate the segments, removing any seeds.
In a blender, combine the chopped pear, mandarin segments, fresh lemon juice, and honey. Blend until smooth.
Strain the blended mixture using a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl or pitcher to remove any pulp for a smoother texture.
Fill two glasses with 3 ice cubes each.
Evenly distribute the strained pear and mandarin juice into the glasses, filling them about 3/4 full.
Carefully pour the sparkling water into each glass, leaving some space at the top.
Slowly drizzle 1 tablespoon of pomegranate juice over the back of a spoon into each glass to create a layered 'sunrise' effect.
Garnish each drink with 2 fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
