Review

Vodka's clean neutrality allows the fruity flavours in this summery cocktail to shine. Of the original line-up of seven different Pimm's spirit bases, only No.1 (gin-based) still serves but No.6, which had a vodka base, clung onto life longer than the other five.

How about that? This turned out to be one of my favorite versions of the Fruit Cup on here. Could it be the fine Fever Tree carbonated brands I used for the fizz?... Hope Organic Vodka, Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao, Carpano Classico.
