Homemade Ginny's Gin Pimm's Cup
Ingredients
- 10 oz Ginny’s Gin
- 1 Naval Orange
- 7 oz Sweet Vermouth
- 3 1/2 oz Orange Liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 2 oz Campari or Aperol
- Few drops of Orange Bitters - we love Flora Luna
Mix it up
Wash and slice the naval orange, leaving the peel on. Place the orange slices in a glass jar and pour in Ginny’s Gin, vermouth, orange liqueur, Campari and a few dashes of orange bitters. Seal the jar and shake. Let sit for 24-72 hours. Strain out the oranges and pour back into the jar. On party day, pour your homemade Pimm’s into a pitcher and add ice, mint, strawberries and orange slices. For each serving, pour 2 to 3 oz of your homemade mix into an ice filled Gabriel-Glas stemless glass and top with Sprite, ginger ale or ginger beer. Garnish with a long cucumber ribbon, mint, strawberries and an orange slice. Or, for a real celebration, top it off with Champagne, Prosecco or sparkling wine for a Pimm’s Royale!
"There is no cocktail that speaks to me more during the summer than a cool, refreshing glass of Pimm’s. I've been making this homemade version (confession) for decades ever since we made buckets of it in the bathtub while in college, lol! Share a pitcher with your pals poolside to get the party started." Ginny
