Happy Hour: Pimm’s Cup

pimms_cup

It wouldn’t be summertime in England without Pimm’s. The low-alcohol (only 25% ABV) gin-based liqueur is mixed with lemon-lime soda, poured over ice cubes and heavily garnished with plenty of strawberries, cucumber and herbs. Known to some as the official drink of Wimbledon the Pimm’s Cup is a light-tasting and refreshing drink that will have you feeling cooler even in the hottest temperatures.

Original Recipe Pimm’s Cup

  1. Fill either a glass or a jug (for multiple glasses) with ice

  2. Pour in one part Pimm’s No. 1

  4. Add mint leaves, very thin cucumber slices, orange slices, and strawberry (all or some depending on what you prefer)

  5. Enjoy!
