Black Pepper Syrup is a great way to add a pre-balanced spice to a cocktail.  Easily made with peppercorns, water and cane sugar, it captures the mellow spice and savory dustiness in that you recognize in the upper part of your palate.  

6% - 8.5% Acidity 

Lime juice is generally the most acidic of the citrus fruit juices used cocktails.  The high acidity can help balance flavors and smooth bitterness as well as astringent flavors of high-spirited or unfiltered alcohol. Limes that have had more time to ripen will render a more concentrated and sweeter flavor with floral notes adding complexity to a cocktail.  It is advisable to taste your fresh-pressed juice and adjust added sweeteners accordingly. 

Salt is a great flavor booster.  It can balance sweetness and bitterness, smoothing out a cocktail.  It can also enhance citrus flavor and acidity without the need for more acid.  It is most commonly used in rimming cocktail glasses, but a sprinkle in the cocktail shaker can really impact a cocktail.  Make it into a saline solution to enhance stirred cocktails.  

Fresh mint is a welcomed garnish to most cocktails because of it's fragrant and fresh quality.  The recognizable flavor and scent of mint acts as a palate cleanser and opener which really gets you ready to enjoy your cocktail.
