Check the ginger-beer label

Choose the explicitly alcohol-free ginger beer specified by the ingredient line. The name alone is not enough information across every brand or market. Chill it with the pear nectar before mixing, and stir the still nectar and lemon together first so the sparkling ingredient can stay sealed until the glasses are ready.

Divide the ice and base between the two glasses before topping slowly. Pear nectar can have a fuller texture than clear juice, so the gentle final stir helps combine it with the ginger beer without repeated agitation. Finish with a thin pear slice and serve at once. Keep the exact product labels if making the drink for someone with ingredient or alcohol requirements.
