Cajun Lemonade

By BobD

A salute to the flavors of New Orleans, this cocktail spices up Napoleon House's Pimm's Cup (Pimm's No. 1, lemonade and 7-Up) with a splash of Tabasco and a generous dose of rum or vodka.

Ingredients

• 12 ounces white rum or vodka
• 4 ounces Pimm's No. 1
• 8 ounces fresh lemon juice
• 4 ounces Simple Syrup
• 1/2 tablespoon Tabasco
• Ice
• 8 ounces chilled 7-Up
• Thin lemon wheels, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

In a large resealable container, combine all of the ingredients except ice, the 7-Up and the lemon wheels. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour. Cover tightly and shake, then pour into an ice-filled pitcher. Strain into ice-filled rocks glasses, stir in the 7-Up and garnish with lemon wheels.
