Strawberry Pimm's Cup

By garciamoss

A twist on the British classic, this summer cooler takes on spicy, herbal notes from Kaffir lime leaves, while strawberries lend sweet balance to the pleasingly bitter liqueur. We like to drink it with hearty grilled foods such as rib eye with sweet-hot pepper sauce or grilled lamb burgers with red onion aïoli.

Ingredients

• 3 cups sliced strawberries
• 3 Kaffir lime leaves
• 2 cups ginger ale
• 2 cups Pimm's No. 1
• 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
