Bolivian Pimm’s

A Bolivia-inspired take on the Pimm’s Cup.

Carlos Quinonez of Hungry Eyes in New Orleans felt inspired to create his own twist on the Pimm’s Cup, with a nod to the discontinued brandy-based Pimm’s No. 3. For his Bolivian Pimm’s, he uses Bolivian muscat grape-based spirit, Singani 63, and adds cantaloupe juice to play up the drink’s summery flavors. “It tastes light, bright, and layered just like a Pimm’s Cup should be, but with more complexity from the sherry and vermouth, and just a touch of spice from the bitters,” he says.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 oz. Singani 63
  • 1 oz. cantaloupe juice
  • 3/4 oz. blanc vermouth
  • 1/2 oz. fino sherry
  • 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
  • 3 dashes Bitter Queen Orange-Chamomile Bitters (or orange bitters)
  • Tools:shaker, strainer
  • Glass:large rocks or Collins
  • Garnish:Peychaud's bitters and dehydrated lemon (optional)

Preparation

Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake briefly. Strain into a glass over pebble ice. Top with Peychaud’s bitters and garnish with a dehydrated lemon slice if available.
