New Year's Mocktail
A strong New Year’s mocktails recipe starts with simple, clean ingredients. Pear juice provides a naturally sweet base without refined sugars. Fresh ginger adds warmth and depth. Sparkling water keeps the drink light and refreshing. Lemon juice brightens the flavor and balances sweetness. Cinnamon sticks add aroma and visual appeal.
This ginger mocktail also carries symbolism. In many cultures, pears represent prosperity and abundance. They often appear in celebrations tied to renewal and good fortune. Serving a ginger pear punch during the New Year can feel intentional and hopeful. It is a small ritual that aligns with fresh goals and positive energy.
Each ingredient supports flavor first. The result feels festive rather than restrictive. That matters during Dry January, when enjoyment supports consistency.
Ginger Pear
Ginger pear is a classic pairing. The gentle sweetness of pear balances the spicy warmth of ginger. Together, they create a flavor profile that feels cozy and refreshing at the same time. This balance works well in both warm and chilled drinks.
Ginger has a long history of traditional use in wellness practices. It is often used to support digestion and overall comfort. Pears provide natural sweetness along with fiber and phytonutrients. They are generally well tolerated and fit well into AIP guidelines when used as juice without additives.
In functional mocktails, flavor matters. Ginger pear delivers complexity without added syrups or artificial flavors. The aroma from fresh ginger and cinnamon enhances the experience before the first sip. This makes the drink feel indulgent while remaining simple and nourishing.
Collagen Protein Powder
Adding collagen protein powder turns this mocktail into a functional collagen drink. AMMD™’s Collagen Protein provides types I and III collagen peptides. These are the primary types found in skin, hair, joints, and connective tissue. Each scoop contains hydrolyzed bovine collagen for better absorption.
Collagen protein powder is easy to mix into beverages. It has a neutral taste and blends smoothly when stirred into warm liquid. This makes it ideal for mocktails, broths, and smoothies. Many people use collagen as part of a daily routine to support healthy hair, skin, joints, and nails.
Using collagen protein powder in functional mocktails allows wellness habits to fit into social moments. That consistency often supports long-term success.
How To Make Ginger Pear Collagen Punch

This recipe makes one pitcher, or about eight glasses. Start by peeling and thinly slicing a one-inch piece of fresh ginger. Add the ginger slices, pear juice, and cinnamon sticks to a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat for five to seven minutes. This step infuses the flavors without boiling. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool.

Once cooled, stir in the Collagen Protein powder, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until the collagen fully dissolves. Pour the mixture into a large pitcher. Add sparkling water and stir gently to combine. Avoid vigorous stirring to preserve the bubbles.

Add ice cubes to chill the punch. Garnish each glass with dehydrated pear slices and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy.

This ginger pear collagen punch works well for gatherings, meal prep, or a personal reset ritual. It fits seamlessly into Dry January and beyond. With clean ingredients and purposeful design, it shows how functional mocktails can support both celebration and wellness.
