How to Make a Pimms Cup
My Extra Special Pimm’s Cup Recipe
This classic British cocktail is my absolute favorite summer drink. My guests are often surprised when I offer them my signature house cocktail, but it’s a hit every single time. There’s a reason this drink has been around since 1823!
Having to scroll through a novel-length saga before getting to the actual recipe is one of my biggest pet peeves, so I’ve done us all a favor and just laid out the recipe plain and simple for you.
Cheers!
Ingredients
Makes 1 cocktail, multiply by number of guests to make a pitcher

1 oz Dry Vermouth (I use Dolin’s)
2 drops Angostura Bitters

Lemon slice, for garnish
