Pimm's No 1

Pimm's No 1

It's officially June and the weather is getting warmer and warmer! Spring has officially sprung as the flowers are blooming and the grass is growing green. This is definitely the time when everyone gathers together with friends and family to spend most of their time outside, enjoying the sun while it lasts! And usually during a time like this, they get together and have a few drinks!

I have to admit, I don't drink very often but every once in a while, I do enjoy a glass of wine while relaxing outside at the end of the night. Just recently, I discovered this wonderful liqueur called Pimm's No. 1 while I was in Toronto! I've never heard of it until then, and neither have a lot a people that I've talked to about it!

It originated in the UK and is a gin-based liqueur with different herb extracts and fruit juices! It's surprisingly not too sweet, and there are so many ways to mix it. The first time I tried it, it was called Pimm's Cup. It was a mix of ginger ale, Pimm's no 1, raspberries, cucumber and strawberries! There were so many amazing flavours in the drink, and in general it has a small percentage of alcohol. I hear you can also mix it with lemonade, and when I first made it at home, I tried my own version of Pimm's Cup and used tonic water and added mint leaves! It was delicious!

Anyhow, I've decided to share my love for this drink because it is perfect for summer! It's my new favourite. Definitely try it out (if you are of age of course...)!

Much love,
