Put A Little Pep In Your Paloma

Black Pepper Paloma
I came up with this cocktail while I was on vacation in Joshua tree late last year. Three whole days with out my children or husband, it was a dream, but I digress. For some reason this felt like the perfect pool-side beverage, and besides I had all of the ingredients. 

This is a pretty basic riff on a classic Paloma, I think I quite literally wanted to spice it up, and black pepper seemed the perfect accompaniment for the peppery tequila. One of my favorite parts of this drink is the low-key burn from the black pepper simple syrup. My other fave part is the Rimmer, so easy to make and incredibly tasty, just mix together the four ingredients until you like the ratios and you set!
