A hyper-complex Pimm’s Cup


0.5 slice
A small red fruit with a bright red color and sweet yet tart taste.
2 wheel
A refreshing tasting watery vegetable used in some cocktails like the Gin and Tonic. Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.
1.5 oz
A vapor column distilled gin that contains no sweetening agents. A common ingredient in many cocktails.
0.5 oz
A French quinquina infused with gentian root, quinine and herbs of the Grand Chartreuse mountains add to a Mistelle base; 16% ABV.
0.5 oz
A fruity, rich and sweet vermouth that dates back to 1786. Thought of as a sweet vermouth with added vanilla; great with whiskey. We treat this like sweet vermouth.
0.75 oz
The most common fruit juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; pure citric acid. Lemon juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.
0.25 oz
A sweet syrup made from almonds, sugar, and rose water or orange flower water. Sometimes other nut derived syrups are referred to as orgeat. You can make this yourself! There's a few recipes, this one if from liquid Intelligence. Combine 660g very hot water with 200g nuts of your choice (almonds are traditional). Blend together at high speed, then strain through a fine strainer or cheescloth. Add salt if you'd like. Then combine 500g nut milk with 500g sugar, blend to combine. If the emulsion breaks, use a stick blender to quickly recombine (or shake hard before using). If you're up for it, add 1.75g Ticaloid 210s and 0.2g xanthan gum to stablize the emulsion. If you can't find Ticaloid, use a mixture of gum arabic and xanthan gum in a ratio of 9:1. This recipe doesn't use rose or orange flower water, if you'd like you can add small teaspoon of either.
0.25 oz
A syrup with ginger root flavoring. Make it yourself: Combine 120mL fresh ginger juice, 100g superfine sugar (about 2:1.5 by mass). Or you can also boil some ginger slices in a simple syrup mixture. We always assume a 1:1 syrup unless otherwise noted in the recipe itself.

In a shaker, muddle the strawberry and cucumber wheels. Add the remaining ingredients (except the club soda) and short shake with ice, then strain into a highball glass filled with ice cubes. Top with club soda. Garnish with a cucumber ribbon and a mint spring, then dash the bitters on the mint. Serve with a straw. #muddle #shake #ontherocks
