Cocktail Recipe: Pimm's Cup
Memorial Day is coming, which means a long weekend, BBQs, and the non-official start of Summer! The day also typically involves some form of day drinking and for this I highly suggest whipping up a batch of Pimms Cup. This traditionally British drink is everything a good summer cocktail should be - refreshing, citrusy and delicious. And with it's relatively low alchohol content (25% alchohol) feel free to knock back 2 or 3 or 6 :)
Ingredients:
1/4-inch thick English cucumber wheel
4-5 sliced strawberries
1/4-inch thick lemon wheel
2 ounces Pimm’s No. 1
2 ounces ginger ale
2 ounces of lemonade
2 rosemary sprigs
Directions:
Gently muddle the strawberries, cucumber and lemon slices in a chilled highball glass. Pour in the Pimm’s, gingerale and lemonade and stir to combine. Add ice to fill the glass and garnish with the lemon twist. Garnish with the rosemary sprigs and to make it really fancy use a festive paper straw.
