Take your backyard bounty from the garden to the glass with this low-proof riff on the classic Pimm’s Cup.

1 1/2 oz. Pimm’s No. 1
1/2 oz. gin
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup [1:1]
1 dash Angostura bitters
1–1 1/2 oz. ginger beer

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:rocks
Garnish:fresh cucumber slices, assortment of garden herbs (fennel, sorrel, mint, etc.)

Preparation

Combine all of the ingredients except the ginger beer in a shaker and shake with ice. Strain into an ice-filled glass, top with ginger beer, and garnish.
