Instructions

Embark on a gust of refreshing bliss with the Velvet Zephyr, an innovative twist on the classic Paloma. This cocktail blends the bittersweet zest of grapefruit with the velvety allure of elderflower, rounded off with a peppery kick from pink peppercorns. A drink that promises to tantalize the taste buds with its complex, layered flavors. Ingredients: - 2 oz Tequila blanco - 1 oz Fresh pink grapefruit juice - 0.5 oz St. Germain (elderflower liqueur) - 0.5 oz Fresh lime juice - 0.25 oz Agave syrup (adjust sweetness to taste) - 2 oz Club soda - Grapefruit slice and pink peppercorns for garnish - Salt and pink peppercorn rim (optional) - Ice cubes Instructions: 1. If opting for a salt and pink peppercorn rim, begin by running a lime wedge around the rim of a highball glass. Mix equal parts coarse salt and crushed pink peppercorns on a plate, then dip the rim of the glass into the mixture to coat. 2. Fill the glass with ice cubes. 3. In a shaker, combine the tequila blanco, fresh pink grapefruit juice, St. Germain, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup with ice. 4. Shake well until the outside of the shaker feels cold. 5. Strain the mixture into the prepared highball glass over the ice. 6. Top with the club soda and gently stir to integrate. 7. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit and a sprinkle of pink peppercorns over the top. Serve the Velvet Zephyr in the highball glass and enjoy the harmonious dance of grapefruit and elderflower, with the subtle yet striking touch of pink peppercorn that sets this cocktail apart from its Paloma cousin.
