Pomegranate and Pepper Juice

This is a flamboyant and alcohol-free cocktail of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice spiked with crushed long pepper. Long pepper has a lovely tropical flavour – hot and gingery but also slightly sweet and floral. It’s well worth trying to get hold of it, but you can use good quality black pepper if necessary. Strain the juice before serving if you prefer to keep the pepper a secret.
