A SMATTERING of stuff

THAT’S MAKING US SAY “WE LIKE IT!” THIS MONTH

BY HEATHER WITHERSPOON

SUMMER SIPPING

A popular beverage in the U.K., the Pimm’s Cup is a perfect summertime drink. Light and refreshing, this thirst-quenching cocktail’s primary ingredient is Pimm’s No.1, a gin-based spirit made from a secret recipe that infuses gin with a delicate combination of herbal botanicals, caramelized orange, and warm spices. Initially blended by James Pimm as an aid to digesting oysters in 1840, Pimm’s went on to be served at Queen Victoria’s lunches and ended up making its debut at Wimbledon in 1971.

Pimm’s Cup Directions:

Fill a highball glass with ice. Mix one-part Pimm’s No.1 with three parts chilled lemonade. Add some mint, cucumber, orange, and strawberries. Enjoy!
