ROASTED FRUIT:
- 2 medium D’Anjou pears, sliced (skin on)

- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
MOCKTAILS:
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1 orange, freshly-squeezed
- 2 Tbsps pure maple syrup
- pinch of ground cinnamon

Instructions
TO ROAST FRUIT:
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, add the maple syrup, olive oil, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, mixing everything together until combined. Add in the sliced pears and oranges, tossing them together until fruit are coated.
- Transfer to the baking sheet and arrange in the single layer and bake until the fruit is golden-brown and knife tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
TO MAKE THE MOCKTAILS:
- In a bowl, mix together the water, orange juice, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
- ASSEMBLY: For each drink, fill an 8-ounce glass halfway with crushed ice. Add ½ cup of the mocktail mixture. Garnish with sliced oranges and pears, and top with ginger beer until filled completely. Add a rosemary sprig if desired.
- Sip and Enjoy!
Notes
- SWEETENER: Instead of maple syrup, you can substitute with Agave syrup.
- MAKE AHEAD: You can make the mocktail mixture up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container. The day off, simply roast fruit and assemble.
