Pepperberry syrup imparts fruitiness, bush aromas, and a distinctive spicy bite to drinks and cocktails. Its fresh aromatics lends itself beautiful to gin style cocktails. It is a building and lingering heat that is unique to pepperberry.
Corinne likes to add a splash into her G&T whereas Chris justs adds a splash of it to his dry cider.
