Now I do know what you are considering, the Pimm’s Cup is a historically British concoction that we take pleasure in overseas and throughout the pond alike. This basic and refreshing cocktail is greatest served at polo matches in addition to gents in linen blazers and women in seersucker apparel. Nevertheless, this drink discovered its manner into the hearts of New Orleans for its refreshing nature and shortly grew to become a Mardi Gras favourite as a consequence of its easy-to-drink (and easy-to-make) nature.
The toughest factor about this recipe is sourcing the Pimm’s Liqueur, the remaining is comparatively simple so long as you know the way to navigate the edges of the grocery retailer! You will additionally want a excessive ball glass to serve it (these gilded ones make for some enjoyable Mardi Gras aptitude!).
I keep in mind the primary time I had a Pimm’s Cup about 7 years ago- after asking restaurant after restaurant, I lastly discovered one at The Salt in downtown Roswell, and that was the primary sip! I hope you will have the identical ardour for it as I do. Cheers!
