This pear-y twist on the classic Moscow Mule cocktail—with the warming effects of ginger and cinnamon, and the scent of fresh rosemary—is the perfect party starter.

The first step is to steep a pear simple syrup that is truly simple to make. For larger parties, mix the vodka, syrup, and lime juice in a pitcher so that all you have to do is pour some into an ice-filled glass, top with club soda, and garnish with a slice of juicy pear, a sprig of rosemary, and a cinnamon stick, copper mug optional!
