Mother's Day Recipes, Day 3, Part 2: The Pimm’s Cup
All of these lovely food recipes in honor of mom are delightful (and making me hungry throughout the work day), but we know that what mom wants is a nice, refreshing drink made just for her. I suggest a Pimm’s Cup, especially if the part-of-the-country your mom lives in has started to hit those higher late spring temperatures, because it’s such a swell cool down. I also suggest it because it’s a drink my mom’s really fond of, and one she introduced me to when we were visiting the United Kingdom when I was 14 (which means that it really started me on my love of cocktails and highballs and other beverages in their family).
Ingredients:
Ice cubes
2 ounces Pimm’s No. 1 Cup (“made to James Pimm’s original recipe, a closely guarded secret known only to 6 people”).
Chilled ginger ale
Cucumber slice for garnish
Directions:
1. Fill a large Collins glass three quarters up with ice cubes. Add the Pimm’s No. 1 Cup.
2. Top the glass off with ginger ale. Garnish with the cucumber slice.
A Note: Pimm’s is a gin-based, slight fruity, liqueur that’s readily available in liquor stores and online.
