Rach's husband John makes a cosmo with a twist—swapping in pomegranate juice for cranberry and adding a kick with sichuan pepper.
Rach's Pro Tip: When making simple syrup, add a cinnamon stick and a few peppercorns to steep for flavor. Strain before using.
Rach & John like pairing this cocktail with Rach's Mu Shu & Green Rice.
In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, pomegranate and lime juice, simple syrup, and orange-flavored liqueur. Fill with ice, then add a pinch each ground cinnamon and ground peppercorns. Shake vigorously, then strain into two coupes. Garnish with orange peel.
Always drink responsibly.
