Pepper Patch Infusion
Summer 2007
The unique flavour of tequila is enhanced with spicy and sweet in this recipe, creating a summer spirit like no other. Use white tequila or gold tequila to create your infusion and try it in a Pinky Margarita, Yucatan Lemonade or Pink Sunset Shooter, (recipes follow).
To an infusion jar or lidded jar, add one 750 mL bottle tequila, 2 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned and chopped, and 1⁄8 cup pink peppercorns. Infuse for 1 to 2 weeks, tasting midway to make sure it is not too peppery for your taste. Open jar and stir to mix before straining and discarding fruit and peppercorns.
