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

Preparation

Step 1

Muddle 1 cup of the sliced strawberries and the Kaffir lime leaves in a pitcher. Stir in ginger ale, Pimm's, balsamic vinegar, and 1½ cups more strawberries. Serve over ice with remaining strawberries.
