Kampot Pepper Honey Lime Spritz

Best pepper to use: Black Kampot Pepper or White Kampot Pepper
Servings: 1 drink
Total time: 5 minutes
Type: Mocktail, with cocktail option

This drink is bright, refreshing, and lightly peppery. The lime gives it freshness, the honey adds softness, and the Kampot pepper brings a warm, aromatic finish that makes the drink feel more interesting than a regular lime soda.

It is a good recipe for your website because it shows customers that Kampot pepper is not only for cooking. A small amount of freshly cracked pepper can add depth to drinks, especially citrus-based drinks.

Ingredients

For one drink

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

• 1 teaspoon honey, or more to taste

• ⅛ teaspoon freshly cracked Kampot pepper

• ½ cup cold sparkling water

• Ice

• Lime slice, for garnish

• Optional: fresh mint or basil

Cocktail option

Add 1.5 oz gin, vodka, or white rum before topping with sparkling water.

Instructions

1. Make the honey lime base

In a glass, mix the fresh lime juice and honey until the honey dissolves.

If the honey is too thick, stir it with a small splash of warm water first.

2. Add the Kampot pepper

Add a small pinch of freshly cracked Kampot pepper.

Start with a little. The pepper should not overpower the drink. It should add warmth at the end.

3. Add ice and sparkling water

Fill the glass with ice, then pour in the sparkling water.

Stir gently.

4. Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime slice and fresh mint or basil if using.

Finish with one tiny crack of pepper on the top right before serving.
