*Pink peppercorn infused Patrón Silver:
Add 1 tablespoon of pink peppercorns to 16 oz of tequila.
Shake periodically over 48 hours and then strain out the solids and rebottle.
**Fermented papaya juice:
Pour the juice from two papayas into a mason jar. Add 2 tablespoons of honey and the rind of an organic Florida pineapple. Let the natural yeast from the pineapple rind ferment the mixture for 3 days. Strain out the solids and bottle for another 2 days, letting the gas out of the mixture periodically to avoid explosion.
***Guava cordial:
Add 4 parts guava juice to 3 parts granulated white sugar. Stir until the sugar is absorbed into the liquid.
