Dequindre Cut: A Pimm’s Cup

Dequindre Cut: Pimm's Cup Riff

A summer quencher that will win over both bartenders and the Fernet shy.

Bartender Kristen Hinson of Detroit’s Sugar House sought to create a Pimm’s Cup riff that appealed to bartenders but was also approachable to everyday guests. “Aiming to make an industry cocktail, it felt right to go with a more bitter base like Fernet Branca, while adding raspberry brings in more of the fruitiness you would usually get from Pimm’s No. 1,” she says.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. gin
  • 1 oz. Fernet Branca
  • 1 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz. raspberry syrup
  • 3 cucumber slices
  • 10 fresh mint leaves
  • 2 oz. ginger beer
  • Tools:shaker, strainer, fine-mesh strainer
  • Glass:Collins
  • Garnish:cucumber slice and mint sprig

Preparation

Add all of the ingredients, except the ginger beer, to a shaker with ice. Shake hard, then double strain into a glass with fresh ice. Top with ginger beer. Garnish.
