It’s no secret that we love refreshing summer cocktails around here. One of our new favorites is this aromatic Vermouth Tonic Cocktail that features orange, pink peppercorns, and Martini Bianco. This crowd-pleaser cocktail has some beautiful citrus, vanilla, and peppery tones that complement a lot of meals and also stands out on its own. It’s full of flavor while still being light enough for the warm weather months.

This tonic cocktail pairs well with so many dishes, but if you need a place to start, try it with a light arugula salad, grilled meat, and vanilla cake for the perfect complimentary meal.

Orange Pepper Vermouth Tonic Cocktail Recipe Tips:

  • Use your favorite 8 oz glasses for the full serving or make a large batch and serve from a pitcher at your next lunch or dinner party.
  • Make sure to not over shake your cocktail, otherwise it will become watery from the melting ice.
  • Don’t have vermouth on hand? Try using a dry white wine as a substitute in this tonic cocktail.
  • Looking for a little more citrus flavor? Add some lime juice in for an extra kick.
