Now you might think pomegranate and peppercorns is a strange combo, but it turned out surprisingly delicious! While pomegranate seeds are both tart and sweet, the tartness definitely came through most with the black peppercorns adding a little heat in the aftertaste, giving a little edge to this underworld cocktail without taking away from the pomegranate or classic dirty martini vibes. The combination was a perfect Persephone cocktail, after all, pomegranate seeds are what kept her in the underworld and a little heat feels like a nod to the firey feel of most afterlife tales. Regardless if you love mythology or not, this cocktail will indulge your love of the dirty martini with some delicious new found flavors!
