Ingredients

  • 2 oz Pimm’s No. 1
  • 4 oz apple cider fresh or sparkling
  • 2 oz ginger ale or ginger beer
  • apple slices 2–3
  • cucumber slices 1–2 thin slices

  • pear wedge optional
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • fresh mint leaves
  • ice cubes

Notes

Use fresh apple cider for best flavor. For more bubbles, try sparkling cider. Pull out the cinnamon stick after a few minutes if you prefer a subtler spice. Ginger beer brings a stronger kick than ginger ale.
