Pimm’s Cup
If you’ve never heard of a Pimm’s Cup before, you are in for one sensational sip. It’s a deliciously refreshing citrus-ginger cocktail made with a gin-based liqueur—and it’s definitely worth trying.
Traditionally, it contains sugary soda or lemonade, but my rendition cuts way back on sugar by utilizing seltzer (aka sparkling water), freshly squeezed lemon juice and a dash of anti-inflammatory ginger root. Also, while this recipe calls for Pimm’s #1 as the spirit, you can certainly swap in a citrus-flavored gin or vodka. Just be sure to have fun with your garnishes—it’s like a garden in a glass!
