Spicy Aperol – Add 3 destemmed, sliced, and pressed Thai bird’s eye chiles to one 750ml bottle of Aperol and allow to infuse for 5 minutes. Check the spice level. If the spice level is good, fine-strain into the bottle. If the Aperol needs more spice, leave the chiles in for a little longer.

Pink peppercorn rim – Mix 2 parts of kosher salt with 1 part of ground pink peppercorn.
