Pear lemonade with sage

Summer is a time of lasting thirst. I want to drink a lot and tasty, and always with ice

Ingredients

• Fresh sage5 g
• Lime25 g
• Pear juice100 ml
• Sparkling water50 ml
• Crushed ice to taste

Directions

1. 1. In a tall, narrow glass, put a quarter of lime, cut into slices. Add sage leaves. Crumble the ice by grinding the ice cubes in a food processor with sturdy sharp knives, or wrapping them in a tea towel and beating them with a rolling pin or meat hammer.
2. 2. Add a couple of tablespoons of crushed ice to the glass and mash with a mudler. Madler is a plastic or wooden bartender's pestle, which is used to squeeze the juice from fresh fruits, berries or herbs right in the bowl in which the cocktail is served. If you don't have it at hand, you can get by with a tablespoon.

4. 3. Add ice to the rim of the glass. Pour in pear juice gently. You can use freshly squeezed juice or packaged; in the first case, the juice may need to be sweetened a little more than the one ready-made from the pack.
5. 4. Add some sugar syrup - literally half a teaspoon - and stir gently with a bar spoon. You can, however, not add the syrup at all, but simply add it to a glass of sparkling water.

7. 5. Decorate the finished lemonade with sage leaves or a thin semicircular lime slice, planting it on the edge of the glass. And serve immediately - with a straw or just like ordinary homemade lemonade poured from a jug.
