In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, and heavy cream. Whisk until smooth.
Add the apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to the bowl. Mix well to incorporate.
Finely mince the garlic clove or use a garlic press to create a paste. Add it to the bowl.
Stir in the freshly cracked black peppercorns and salt. Adjust the amount of pepper to your desired level of heat and flavor.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to the dressing to thin it out slightly. Mix thoroughly to achieve your preferred consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding a pinch more salt, vinegar, or honey to balance flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the peppercorn dressing chilled over salads, as a dip for vegetables, or drizzled over grilled meats.
