For the Drink
Preparation
Make the Syrup
- Step 1
Muddle the pink peppercorns in a pot with the hard cider. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Strain the contents. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. There will be leftover syrup.
Make the Drink
- Step 2
Muddle 2 cucumber slices at the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Slap the mint leaves gently across your hand, gently tear them, then drop into shaker. Add ice, ⅔ ounce of the pink peppercorn-infused cider syrup, the Calvados, Byrrh and lemon juice. Shake vigorously, about 20 seconds. Strain into a metal cup (the sort used for mint juleps) filled with a few ice cubes. Garnish with the spring of mint and a cucumber slice.
- For a time-saving alternative to the peppercorn syrup, combine equal parts cider and sugar in a sealed container and shake until dissolved.

Not worth the trouble. Pink peppercorn flavor does not come thru.
