A Perfect Day for Pimm's Cup


Sooner or later, the truth comes out. My motivation in making homemade lemonade yesterday was not merely to celebrate its quaint charm, nor was it to celebrate the sultry days of summer (I live in San Francisco). The real reason? I need it as an ingredient in a bowl of alcoholic punch that friends and I will enjoy at 11:30 on a Sunday morning. Shock horror!

The occasion for this Sunday-morning imbibing is, of course, the World Cup final. And while Pimm’s Cup is of English origin (whose team is decidedly not competing in the final), the punch sounds delish and it has the name “Cup” in it, making it still perfect for the occasion.

Makes punch for 6 to 8 people.

Step 1: Fill a large pitcher or bowl with ice.

Step 2: Add 2 cups lemonade, 1 cup ginger ale, 1/2 cups Pimm’s No.1, and 1/2 cup gin.



Step 3: Stir it all up and throw in some lemon slices to make it look simply smashing.

Ingredients:

Ice
2 cups lemonade
1 cup ginger ale
1/2 cup Pimm’s No.1
1/2 cup gin
lemon slices
