Pimm’s Cup

Pimm’s Cup: This quintessential British cocktail was perfect for my Indian themed book club this month!

Pimm’s Cup

I am hosting an upcoming book club meeting with an Indian theme and have been searching for a fun cocktail. I was striking out till someone mentioned how a British drink like Pimm’s cup would be apropos.

Pimm’s is a gin-based drink with some herb undertones, typically served during cricket matches. So when friends came over to bake, I had some taste testers. We found them quite refreshing. So perfect for a hot summer evening or the next Cricket World Cup. I bet you’ll find a good excuse to whip these up!

An Easy Recipe

When hosting a big group, you don’t need to add a complicated beverage to the menu. This Pimm’s Cup couldn’t be simpler. Just mix Pimm’s and soda and garnish. Cheers!
