CLASSIC PIMM'S CUP



Classic Pimm's Cup image

Pimm's is as British as cricket or a cup of tea and has gained in recognition with the general rebirth of the classic cocktail. The original recipe for the Pimm's Cup is a very simple affair of Pimm's No. 1 and lemon-lime soda served over ice with slices of cucumber. The Brits refer to this simply as Pimm's and Lemonade ("lemonade" being the UK term for lemon-lime soda). What is fantastic about this recipe is the simplicity of ingredients. Add some cucumber and even a little mint and you have already elevated the cocktail. Try substituting champagne in the cocktail or even adding seasonal fruits to the mix, and you are light years beyond a simple highball.
