- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon peel thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon orange peel thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
- 1 oz gin

Add olive oil and garlic into a small saucepan on medium-low heat. Once the ingredients begin to heat up and bubble, stir in the citrus peels, peppercorns and rosemary and heat for two minutes.
Add the gin, orange juice and olives and stir to coat. Lower the heat and allow to cook for 8-10 minutes, until olives are heated through. Turn off the heat, and allow to cool slightly, 5-10 minutes.
Serve on a cheese board, mezze board, and just eat them by themselves.
