This crowd pleaser Orange Pepper Vermouth Tonic Cocktail has some beautiful citrus, vanilla and peppery tones that complement a lot of meals and also stands out on its own.
Allow glasses to sit in the freezer for 20 minutes.
Combine simple syrup, 2 strips of orange peel and ½ teaspoon pink peppercorns in a cocktail shaker. Muddle the ingredients until the peppercorns crack and the ingredients release their aromas.
Add the Vermouth Bianco and fill the cocktail shaker with ice. Immediately, shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into two ice cold glasses. Top each cocktail with 3 oz tonic water.
Garnish with orange peel strips and pink peppercorns.
