This Week's Cocktail: Pimm's Cup

This week's cocktail is Pimm's Cup, a refreshing and classic British summertime drink that has been enjoyed for over 150 years. Originally created by James Pimm in the 1840s, this cocktail is made with Pimm's No. 1, a gin-based liqueur that is infused with a secret blend of herbs and spices. The drink is then mixed with lemon juice, ginger beer, and fresh fruit, such as cucumber and strawberry, to create a light and flavorful beverage that is perfect for sipping on a hot summer day. 

• 1 long, thin cucumber slice, for garnish
• 2 thin cucumber rounds, for muddling
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup
• 2 ounces Pimm's No. 1
• 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice
• 2 1/2 ounces ginger beer
• 1 strawberry, for garnish
• 1 mint sprig, for garnish

Steps:

1. Fill a chilled Collins glass (or another tall, slender glass) 3/4 full with ice cubes and place a long garnish slice of cucumber running down along the inside of the glass.
2. Add cucumber slices and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. Muddle the cucumber slices and syrup, then add the Pimm’s and lemon juice. Shake with ice, then strain into your Collins glass.
3. Top with ginger beer or ginger ale. Garnish with a cucumber wheel, a speared strawberry, and/or a sprig of mint.
