Loving Cup

Although today is the exception, spring feels like it is making an early arrival, and nothing transitions winter into spring better than Pimm's. 

"Pimm's was first produced in 1823 by James Pimm, a farmer's son from Kent who became the owner of an oyster bar in the City of London, near the Bank of England. Pimm offered the tonic (a gin-based drink containing quinine and a secret mixture of herbs) as an aid to digestion, serving it in a small tankard known as a "No. 1 Cup", hence its subsequent name."

My two favorite ways to drink Pimm's No. 1? Let's break out the Collins glass and:

Pimm's Cup ~  lemonade + Pimm's + ice + thin slice of cucumber and slice of strawberry
Royal Cup ~ Champagne/Prosecco + Pimm's + thin slice of cucumber and lemon

...also try mixing with iced ginger tea. YUM!
