This pretty pink martini is the color of spring with the flavors of winter citrus. Don't love gin? Use vodka instead! We rimmed our glasses with a fun mix of crushed pink peppercorns and coarse sugar.

Cook's Note:

For a DIY simple syrup, stir together 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool before using. Store up to 2 weeks, chilled in an airtight container.
