Ingredients for Pear and Ginger Sage Champagne Cocktail:
Water - 3 cups
Honey - 1 cup
Pears - 2 (peeled, cored and diced)
Ginger - 1 thumb-sized piece (peeled and diced)
Sage - 20 leaves (plus additional for garnish)
Champagne - 1 bottle (or sparkling wine)
Method of preparing the Pear and Ginger Sage Champagne Cocktail:
  1. Combine the honey and water over medium heat and bring to a light boil. Then, turn the heat down to low and simmer, stirring occasionally until the honey has dissolved.
  2. Add the pears, ginger, and sage leaves and simmer until the mixture has reduced by 1/3 - this should roughly take about 15 to 20 minutes, with occasional stirring.
  3. Remove the mixture from the heat and steep for an additional 10 minutes. Once done, strain the syrup into a large mason jar, removing the ginger and the sage leaves.
  4. Assemble the drinks by placing a couple of cooked pears into each glass. Then add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the simple syrup, add the champagne and enjoy!
