“When outside temperatures rise and thirsts call for quenching with something a little more interesting than the workaday gin and tonic, a Pimm’s Cup is in order. The basic recipe is simple, but the garnishes and flavourings used in modern Pimm’s Cup presentations vary wildly.” Recipe from Signature Cocktails by Amanda Schuster.

Ingredients (5)

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Pimm’s liqueur (pick your number, but you’ll mostly find No. 1 available)
  • 3 tsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes, to serve
  • Ginger ale, to top
  • Mint sprig, 1 or 2 lemon slices, orange slice, cucumber slice, 1 sliced strawberry, to garnish

Don't forget you can add these ingredients to your Woolworths shopping list.

Method

  • 1.
    Add the Pimm’s and lemon juice to a highball or pint glass and stir to combine. Add ice cubes, then top with ginger ale. Arrange the garnishes in the glass. (Some venues opt to muddle the strawberry slices in the glass before adding the Pimm’s and lemon, then add more strawberry for garnish. It’s never a bad idea.)
