Pear Ginger Margarita

For the Ginger Honey Simple Syrup: Add 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup honey, and a 3 inch piece of chopped fresh ginger to a small saucepan. Simmer until honey has melted, stirring occasionally. Take pan off the heat and let the syrup steep for at least 10 minutes before straining into an airtight container. Keeps in the fridge for up to two weeks.

For one Pear Ginger Margarita: Combine 2 oz pear juice, 3/4 oz Cointreau or triple sec, 1 tbs of freshly minced ginger, 2 oz tequila, 3/4 oz ginger honey simple syrup, and 3/4 oz lime juice. Optional but highly encouraged: coat the rim of your glass with lime juice and sprinkle course salt to create a classic margarita salt rim.
