“Pink peppercorns lend foods a different kind of heat, closer to chiles than black pepper. They have the same peppery bite, but it's wrapped in a sweet fruity flavor reminiscent of a berry with an attitude” — Serious Eats.

½ oz Lo-Fi Aperitifs Gentian Amaro
¾ oz lemon juice
1½ oz gin

PINK PEPPERCORN SYRUP
Ingredients:
½ cup white sugar
½ cup water
2 tbsp pink peppercorns
Directions:
Combine sugar, water, and pink peppercorns into a medium sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Once sugar is dissolved, remove from heat and let the flavors steep while the syrup cools completely (about 30 minutes to an hour). Once cooled, strain out the peppercorns and transfer syrup into an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for about two to three weeks.
