RED WINE AND PEPPERCORN SYRUP: Bring all ingredients to the boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Leave to simmer for 5 minutes, then cool. Strain off peppercorns. This can be kept for up to 5 days in the fridge.

FOR THE COCKTAIL: Add all ingredients to an ice-filled cocktail shaker, strain into an ice-filled glass and add a lemon zest twist to serve.

TIP: We used an ice sphere with lemon zest frozen into it.
