A popular cocktail served at weddings, the ‘Pimm’s cup’ makes it as our cocktail of the week.

There are many versions of Pimm’s Cup. This is my version:

Ingredients

2 Highball glasses

2 oz Pimm’s No. 1

5 oz 7Up/Soda

1 twist of lemon

1 twist of cucumber peel

Lemon slices

Strawberry slices

Orange slices

Handful of mint leaves

Hard ice cubes

Method:

Pour Pimm’s over ice cubes in a large highball glass. Fill glass with 7Up/Soda. Add twist of lemon, twist of cucumber peel, lemon slices, strawberry slices, orange slices and stir. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Alternatives

Add berries like blueberry and raspberry for a sweeter Pimm’s cup.

Half a teaspoon of Eldeflower syrup can be added to give the Pimm’s cup a distinct taste.

Serve this cocktail in different glasses for a cool modern twist. Mason jars are a popular choice for events.
