Ginger-Pear Juice Shooters

makes 5-6 shooters

1 large organic pear
*I used an organic Bartlett
1 Tbsp peeled fresh ginger
1 medium sized tangerine
1 Tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
garnish: 3 ginger chew candies, diced small
*I used ginger-peanut flavor
5-6 toothpicks

Directions:

1. Prepare your ginger chew skewer garnishes by slicing the ginger chews into pea sized bits and skewing them on toothpicks. Set aside.

2. Wash your pear, slice into juicable strips. Yes, I juice the entire pear-seeds and all.

3. Peel your 1 Tbsp of fresh ginger. I peel my ginger because otherwise my juice comes out brownish.

3. In a manual citrus juicer, juice your tangerine and lemon juice. Set aside in a glass.

4. Turn on your electric juicer. Juice your pear and ginger. Finish the juice by pouring the citrus juice right into the juicer-this will blend all the flavors together and even infuse your citrus juice with the ginger and pear flavors that just ran through the juicer.
5. Now that you have your completed juice, pour each shooter to the brim. Add your ginger chew garnish on top and place on a platter to be served. Cayenne for extra spice is optional, and as I mentioned, having a few low or no ginger options may be useful.
