Method

  1. In a blender, purée the pears until smooth. Pour into a jug, then add a small splash of cranberry juice to stop the pear discolouring.
  2. When your guests arrive, put a few tsps purée in the bottom of each flute or glass, then add a splash more juice. Add a pinch of cinnamon, then top up with chilled Cava. Serve immediately, before making another batch with the leftover purée.

    Is there anything I can use in place of Cava as I don't think its available here? I would assume vodka would work?? I just imagine it would be quite strong...

    The cinnamon wasn't too popular and tends to just sit on top but overall it was a nice start to the evening.
