The Pimm's Cup is a classic English gin cocktail. This refreshing drink provides a sip and a snack with a generous amount of fruit in each serving. Use ginger beer or ginger ale if you want that spicy ginger taste. Muddle jalapeño in lemon juice and add to your pitcher to add some kick. Add any seasonal fruits to your pitcher - the more the merrier!
Serves 4 - Double the recipe for a pitcher!
