I decided to celebrate the first Saturday of June with an extra summery drink, the Pimms Cup…or Pimms Punch Bowl (or even Pimms Pitcher) filled with some of summer’s best, plus my very favorite Elderflower liqueur. Since June is here, it’s time to kick off “Summertime Cocktail Saturday”! Every Saturday I’ll be posting a new summer inspired cocktail recipe…yes, meaning all summer long we’ll be drinking summery cocktails. Saturdays are about to be SO much more fun. So let’s chat about the Pimms in this cocktail. Pimms is something new to me, but I’m loving this gin based alcohol. It’s perfect for pairing with summer fruits, and I LOVE it with St-Germain, aka Elderflower liqueur. It’s just super fun, fruity and refreshing. Here’s how this drink goes. Add everything to a glass, bowl, or giant pitcher and DONE. Yes, it’s as simple as that. If you wanted to take things a step further, you could soak the fruits in the boozy mix for a few hours before serving for some serious flavor, but if time is short, no biggie! I garnished my cocktail with some fresh thyme, mint, and flowers. Pretty and delicious! I decided it might be best to give you guys both the single serve version and the party style version, because sometimes you just need one cocktail…and other times you need to hydrate a crowd. Plus, all summer parties need this fun drink, trust me.
Cheers to cocktail Saturday…the summer edition!
