There was no rotund introduction when Pimm's washed up at Tonic. I'm now sure the bottle was hiding in plain sight behind the bar for weeks before I was aware of its inventory. When the chance arrived to feature a cocktail using Pimm's, I went to bat. So today, Tonic featured my take on the Pimm's Cup to accompany their crab special. I have designated it "21" in recognition of 21st street which runs southbound through Foggy Bottom.
Pimm's Cup #21 - 1 1/2 oz Pimm's No 1 - 3/4 oz of fresh lemon/lime juice - soda water, ginger ale press (1/2 soda water, 1/2 ginger ale)
Glassware: highball glass
Pour 1 1/2 oz of Pimm's in the glass. Add 3/4 oz of fresh lemon/lime juice. Then add a soda water and ginger ale press. Garnish with a lemon and enjoy.
Christian added a touch of Old Bay to the rim to bridge it with a pile of Tonic's crabs. Special thanks to him for the solicitation. Perhaps Pimm's will accrue more attention.
