All the recent hot weather in the UK has given me a thirst for vast quantities of Pimms. In the interests of variety, I picked up a bottle of Plymouth (of Plymouth Gin fame) Fruit Cup - their own version of the Pimms No 1 Cup. Plymouth's branding capitalises on the fact that it is 'traditional' strength - 30% ABV rather than 20% ABV, as Pimm's now is. I compared it to Pimms both mixed with lemonade and mixed with dry ginger ale. It was a revelation. The Plymouth Fruit Cup was a far more interest
Last night I tried the Three Seasons (Toby Maloney, via Bartender's Choice). Gin, Pimm's No. 1, lemon, lime, and orange wedges, cucumber, mint, strawberry, soda, borage (my addition). LOTS of fruit in the glass, which was fun. Light and refreshing.
