Pimm's Cup

Posted Friday, June 30, 2006 at 01:53PM
631252-380074-thumbnail.jpgTraditionally, a Pimm’s Cup is made with ginger ale, a spear of cucumber and, of course, Pimm’s, a mildly spicy, gin-based liqueur. It’s a refreshing and cooling drink, perfect for balmy summer days, especially when croquet is involved. But my mixological lexicon with respect to Pimm’s was limited to that one concoction, until now. Hungry Magazine offers an alternative version of the drink, with lemonade, 7-Up, citrus and cucumber. It’s a more complex rendition, yet none the less refreshing. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to put on my tennis sweater and Docksiders. Has anyone seen my mallet?

I LOVE this! I've always tried to get into drinking Campari (so as to be Euro-fabulous) but never could get past the taste.
Pimms, though...Let me throw on my Lilly Pulitzer dress dahling and I'll be right out to the pool for cocktails.
MUAH!
