Pepperberry Gimlet

This pepperberry gimlet is a beautiful cocktail. It’s a vodka gimlet that is shaken with native Australian Pepperberries to give it a hot pink colour. The vodka gimlet is a bright and refreshing cocktail. The addition of pepperberries gives it a little kick and a deep lasting warmth.

Tasmanian Pepperberry, or Australian Mountain Pepper, is a spice native to South East Australia. They are fragrant, a bit fruity and they’re far more potent than regular peppercorns. They make this cocktail very unique, very pink, very fragrant, and a little bit “hot”.

I used a Latvian vodka called Stolichnaya to make this cocktail. It’s a favourite of ours for mixing cocktails because it is an exceptionally good value vodka with a pleasant but mild taste. Of course, you can also use a different brand of vodka – I’m sure it’ll drink just as well! Additionally, I used my homemade simple syrup to sweeten the gimlet which is made with a 2:1 sugar to water ratio. However, if you use a store bought simple syrup, you’ll want to double to amount added because store-bought simple syrups are usually made with a 1:1 ratio.
