Directions
First make the Spiced Pear Syrup: Combine ingredients in a 2-qt. saucepan over medium heat until sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook for 10–15 minutes, until the syrup has thickened. Strain, discarding ginger and cinnamon, and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Makes about ½ cup; leftover syrup will keep, refrigerated, for about 2 weeks.
To make the cocktail: Mix all ingredients except cider in shaker with crushed ice and shake vigorously.
Pour into glass and top with cold sparkling cider. Garnish with pear slice.
