Citrino e Pepe is a cocktail recipe that pays homage to the classic Italian dish, Cacio e Pepe, with an innovative twist. It artfully combines the zest of citrus with the allure of spice, perfect for cocktail enthusiasts and culinary adventurers alike. Anchored by smooth vodka and enriched with the sweet, orange notes of triple sec, this drink finds its soul in a signature pepper-infused simple syrup, introducing a warm, subtle heat that intrigues the palate. The surprise comes from cumin, not for taste but for its vibrant yellow hue, lending the cocktail a visual appeal as bright as its flavors. "Citrino e Pepe" is an elegant nod to tradition with a contemporary twist, offering a unique sip that captivates both the eye and the taste buds, a tribute to the timeless Italian flair for combining beauty with taste.

Pepper infused simple syrup: begin by pouring simple syrup into a container. Then, introduce freshly ground pepper to the mix. Allow it to rest for approximately 10 minutes, permitting the simple syrup to fully absorb the flavors.
