We’re taking it back to 1823 with this refreshing Pimm’s Cup recipe! This cocktail was served in an oyster bar in London and drinking it definitely conjures up images of happy patrons drinking this delicious libation. Its light, fruity flavors are perfect for sipping on a sunny spring or summer day. This Pimm’s Cup recipe has citrus, cucumber, gin, simple syrup and of course, the famous Pimm’s No. 1 liquor! I really like their quirky website too! There are a few different ways to make a Pimm’s Cup cocktail, but below is my favorite! Here’s to spring!! 
Ingredients
- 3 slices cucumber, peeled and cut into 4
- 1 Large orange wedge, peel on
- 1 ounce fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- ¾ ounce gin
- 1½ ounces Pimm’s No. 1
- ¾ ounce simple syrup, melt ½ cup sugar, ½ cup water in a small sauce pan on the stove until the sugar is melted
- ginger ale to top off
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle the cucumber, orange wedge, lemon juice and simple syrup.
- Add in the gin and Pimm’s No. 1 and shake really well with ice for 20 seconds.
