Tonight, to celebrate the launch of Jersey Shore, I threw a cocktail party. Mini cocktail party. HELLO it's Jersey Shore! I made a version of Hyde's Love Unit (muddled red bell peppers, basil, fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lime juice, and gin), and then I stumbled upon this bottle of rose syrup I've been meaning to play with. SO, I combined rose syrup with grapefruit juice and gin (could sub in vodka) and crushed sweet pink peppercorns atop. The peppercorns not only look pretty, but the flavor of the peppercorns plus the rose pair perfectly together.
Rose Pepper Smash
1 ounce rose syrup
2 ounces fresh grapefruit juice
2 ounces gin (or vodka)
crushed pink peppercorns
Shake rose syrup, grapefruit juice, and gin together. Serve up in a coupe glass and garnish with crushed pink peppercorns.

Wow that cocktail looks so elegant. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This drink sounds so good! I just got some organic peppercorns from Sustainable Sourcing https://secure.sustainablesourcing.com and I think I'll try them out in this recipe. I also saw they had Himalayan salt cups and I may need to get some to serve drinks in! YUM!
this looks amazing! where do you get GOOD rose syrup i feel like that could be really hit or miss. i'd love to hear your review of red medicine - what places are you hitting up next?
@K: Please do NOT contact me any further.
I've been having a little pink peppercorn love affair myself in desserts & drinks - so aromatic and sassy in flavor! And I can imagine this drink pairing beautifully w Vosges' Amalfi bar.
