Rach's husband John makes a cosmo with a twist—swapping in pomegranate juice for cranberry and adding a kick with sichuan pepper. 

Rach's Pro Tip: When making simple syrup, add a cinnamon stick and a few peppercorns to steep for flavor. Strain before using.

Rach & John like pairing this cocktail with Rach's Mu Shu & Green Rice.
