A Fruit Cup Cocktail

A Fruit Cup

This bright, refreshing cocktail captures the essence of a Pimm’s Cup — Britain’s quintessential summer sipper. Traditionally made with gin in the No. 1 Cup, our version combines The Spirit of Gin and The Spirit of Aperitivo Milano plus a dash or two of bitters to mirror those signature spiced, herbal notes.

The fizz comes from Fever-Tree Ginger Ale and Distillers Cola, adding depth and botanicals to the mix. No fruit cup is complete without a plethora of berries, citrus, cucumber, and if you can find them: borage flowers.
