Peppercorn Spirit is built for people who order their Caesar extra spicy and still find it mild. Made from our premium corn-based spirit, it brings cracked black pepper and a slow, warming heat straight into the glass — so the spice is part of the drink instead of something you add on top.
Naturally gluten-free and handcrafted right here in Alberta, it swaps in for vodka one-for-one in a Caesar, a Bloody Mary, or a michelada. Whether it’s brunch, a backyard barbecue, or a hockey night at home, this is the bottle that brings the heat.
Produced in small batches at Badlands Distillery, each bottle reflects our commitment to quality ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and memorable flavour. Made in Alberta using premium ingredients, it’s one of our boldest handcrafted spirits.
Rim a tall glass with celery salt and cracked pepper, then fill with ice. Add 2 oz Peppercorn Spirit, 4 oz Clamato, two dashes of Worcestershire, and hot sauce only if you really want it. Stir and garnish with a lime wedge, a celery stalk, and a spicy bean.
The heat builds from the spirit itself, so it stays warm and even rather than sharp and vinegary the way a hot-sauce-loaded Caesar goes.
The first aroma is freshly cracked black pepper, followed by a subtle woody spice and a clean grain sweetness underneath. On the palate, you’ll notice bright pepper up front before a slow warming heat builds and finishes dry, sharp, and clean.
Unlike many spiced bottles built on a wheat base, our premium corn foundation is naturally smooth, letting the pepper come through without harsh alcohol notes. At 40% alc./vol., it sits comfortably between a chilled shot and a cocktail base.
This handcrafted bottle is made using premium corn-based spirit, making it naturally gluten-free while providing an exceptionally clean finish. Most flavoured spirits on the shelf are built on a wheat base — ours isn’t, which matters if you’re avoiding gluten.
Every bottle is produced in Alberta using small-batch methods that focus on consistency, quality, and flavour. Instead of a one-note burn, our peppercorn spirit offers a balanced heat that holds up against Clamato, tomato juice, and a loaded garnish.
The Caesar is the main event, but this spirit works well beyond it:
Its bold heat makes it a favourite for brunch, backyard barbecues, tailgates, camping trips, and hockey nights at home.
Yes — that’s what it’s built for. Swap it in one-for-one and go easy on the hot sauce until you’ve tasted it.
Dill Pickle is the classic briny Caesar. Garlic brings roasted savoury depth. Peppercorn is the spicy one — cracked pepper heat that builds slowly rather than hitting sharp.
It’s a warming black pepper heat rather than a chili burn — noticeable and building, but balanced enough to drink on its own over ice.
Yes. It is made from premium corn-based spirit and is naturally gluten-free.
Peppercorn Spirit is bottled at 40% alc./vol. in a 750 mL bottle.
Absolutely. It’s a favourite for birthdays, stocking stuffers, and anyone whose Caesar order always ends with “extra spicy.”
