This long refreshing fruity cocktail mimics the characteristics of a Pimm's Cup but with the punch and fullness flavour, reminiscent of distant decades...
There is something unusual about this recipe, in my "You Can Make" list I can see all of the other fruit cups except this one, and of course I have gin which is the only different ingredient
as there doesn't seem to be a way to comment on the fruit cup article as a whole: having tried the gin (1), brandy (3), and tequila (7) cups I also wondered about what this mythical 16 could be. Having 1 serving of the mix (everything except spirit) left, I figured I would try to work out a missing option...and I tried aquavit. I don't think I'd recommend that one... :)
It's nice. It tastes an awful lot like Pimms despite the ingredient list making me think "this is nothing like Pimms". I do think it needs a little less cola though, as it seems to take over a little.
Lovely! I only had ginger beer which made this quite sweet, I can imagine the ginger ale would make it more dry, which would be perfect! As mentioned below, mine is much darker too.
Tried this for the first time today and loved it! Easy to build snd easy to drink. Tried it with the celery bitters someone suggested and I will say they added something nice to this already lovely cocktail.
