    Raspberry Pimm’s Cup Recipe

    Today’s cocktail, prepared in partnership with Tropicana Premium Lemonade, is so darn fresh.  Just a little something I shook up to celebrate the completion of a small home project.

    Raspberry Pimm's Cup

    With summer’s bounty coming to a close in our garden, we recently expanded and redid our backyard beds.  Jorge and I pulled up all of the leggy and overgrown garden remnants and processed them into mulch.  We then installed three new rectangular beds and filled them with a mix of fresh dirt and recycled mulch.  They’re all prepped and ready to go for fall plantings!  To celebrate this small victory, Jorge and I kicked back with a couple of these Raspberry Pimm’s Cups.

    The Pimm’s Cup is a classic British cocktail made with Pimm’s No. 1 liqueur and lemonade, garnished with fruit and herbs.  It’s also one of my favorite cocktails.  So crisp and refreshing.  This recipe starts with raspberries and cucumber slices muddled with just a bit of sugar.  Next, add Tropicana Premium Raspberry Lemonade, Pimm’s No. 1 and lemon juice to the shaker along with ice.  Cap and shake until well-chilled.  The cocktail is finished with ginger beer and a garnish of fresh herbs.  I snipped bundles of thyme, rosemary and mint from our garden before we redid everything, so that’s what I’m using here!  Continue reading for the recipe.

    Raspberry Pimm's Cup Ingredients

    Pimm’s No. 1 is a gin-based liqueur infused with herbal botanicals, caramelized orange and spices.  It pairs beautifully with fresh and fruity things.  Regular lemonade is the classic mixer, but here, I’m using Tropicana Premium Raspberry Lemonade.  Raspberries are in season for a just a bit longer, so I thought the flavor pairing would be a fun, seasonal twist.

    Muddling

    For a really impromptu cocktail, you could simply pair the Pimm’s No. 1 with the Raspberry Lemonade, and garnish with any fruit or herbs you may have available.  I’ve added muddled cucumber, raspberry, sugar and lemon juice to the mix to amp up flavors.  Ginger beer is added at the end to lift the texture of the drink with bubbles and fizz.  Either way, the pairing is so tasty!  And it’s so easy to keep a bottle of Tropicana Lemonade in the fridge to mix one of these up whenever a celebration is in order.

        This looks so fancy! It’s like one of the hand-crafted cocktails that are so trendy and that cost about $18 each…lol. The berries, cucumber, the garnishes…so perfect! This is a new to me juice and sounds delish!

        I never thought of combining raspberry and cucumber, but now that I see it here I find it intriguing. I guess I’m going to have to make a couple of these to test this combination out. I know, it is a tough job, but I think I’m up for it.

        This sounds so refreshing and you are so lucky to have a spot to grow all of these wonderful things. Sadly we are never in one spot long enough for anything including us to take roots. I have saved this to my Pinterest Food and Recipes board. I know my readers will love it.

        This recipe will be a strong contender to all drinks in my garden next summer, already imagining warm summer nights by the firepit and this drink in my hand.
