Difford's Fruit Cup No.1 (gin based & Pimm's Cup-like)

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.

Put in a splash of black tea and it’s getting even closer to what Pimm‘s intended to…

I've had my bottle of Vya Sweet for at least 2 months now, never finding a home for it. Wow, did it excel in this concoction!... Attempted this countless times in the past 48 hours and (considering my stock) angling toward a 70:30 blend on the ginger to cola. I only have Fever Tree Ginger Beer and Coke zero on hand... Also used Gordon's and Marie Brizard Orange Curacao... I will be returning to this recipe though in perpetuality, auditioning stars.
