Several years ago, our Biggest Little went out of town for a weekend of dirt biking and other fun adventures with Hubby. Part of their excursion included a visit to an epic candy shop.
My boy came back with a concoction of sweets for his brothers. Then he unwrapped a special tin of ginger-pear candies for me. Heart melt. The boy knows I’m smitten with all things dark chocolate and anything gingery. I still have that empty tin.
Ginger pear is a classic taste bud combination and it’s one of my favorites. From candy to tea. From cake to sangria.
Let’s camp a bit on that last one and sing praises for sangria, shall we? Many people favor sangria over all other cocktails. I get it…200% get it.
Sangria can be red or white. Dreamy or lighthearted. Fruity, crisp, or sparkly. It’s the versatile, fun, and make-ahead drink.
The make-ahead part is always my favorite part. I prefer to relax and mingle, rather than stress over mixing drinks while holding conversations at the same time. I’m just not that talented.
Here’s how we pre-make this easy, delicious Ginger Pear Sangria…
All you need to make this sparkling Ginger Pear Sangria is a handful of ingredients, including a bottle of fruity Riesling, pear juice, and a good ginger ale.
I found my lovely Schweppes Ginger Ale in the soda aisle at my local Walmart. Everyone must have been buying Schweppes Ginger Ale that day, because I was the lucky gal who grabbed the last couple of bottles off the shelf. Schweppes Ginger Ale is obviously Miss Popular in the soda aisle. If you’re headed to Walmart, grab your Schweppes, like now.

Ooo I love ginger! And I bet it pairs nicely with the pears. This is one recipe I’ll be trying.
Do you usually put the powdered ginger in? Do more people seem to like it better with or without? I will be making this for Christmas Day.
Hi, Jenny! Yes, I do usually put the powdered ginger in and mix it thoroughly. People who love the taste of ginger/ginger ale will like it; but if people are sensitive, you can just put a pinch into it. Hope you all love it! Merry Christmas!
