Also known as a Pimm’s & lemonade, it’s the official drink of Wimbledon often paired with a cup of strawberries and cream. Does it get any classier than tennis whites? Of course this cocktail is also popular at other summer events like festivals and other social gatherings. Pimm’s® No. 1 cup is a British liquor based on gin that is light and can even be bought in cans already mixed with lemonade. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the cans in the states so I made this recipe for those hot summer days. I also provide a non-alcoholic alternative below! For more tennis inspired drinks check out the US Open’s official drink, the Honey Deuce, here.
To make this recipe on-alcoholic, substitute cold-brewed black tea for the 2 ounces of Pimm’s No. 1 in the recipe below.
How to Make Simple Syrup
Making simple syrup is incredibly easy and only takes a combination of sugar and water. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together sugar with 1 cup of water until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil then lower heat to medium-low and simmer until thick and syrupy, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
