Pear Moscow Mule Mocktail

This non-alcoholic and 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 drink for a backyard barbeque.

Note: This recipe makes 1 cocktail, and enough pear simple syrup for about 12 cocktails.
