In 2009, I spent a week in London visiting my older brother. My brother was working as a banker there for an entire year and living in South Kensington. This means that I was able to stay in one of the best neighborhoods in London for FREE. During my visit, I saw the sights, ate the food, experienced the culture and most importantly I drank the drinks. My favorite was a refreshing cocktail called, The Pimms Cup.
The Pimms Cup is everywhere during the Summer in London. Pimms is a British citrus liqueur. A Pimms Cup is this liqueur with some "lemonade" (we call it Sprite) and garnish. It is served in pitchers or in a pint glass. The garnish usually includes mint, cucumber, lemon and sometime strawberries.
Since getting back to the States I have found Pimms to be somewhat difficult to find but definitely worth the search. Below is a recipe for what should be your new favorite Summer cocktail. Cheers!
