(All) Tomorrow's Swish Summer Cocktail Parties

Pimm's No. 1, a 19th century British distillation of gin and herbs, is so redolent of comfort and repose we can hardly wait for summer at Cafe Drake to begin gulping the flowery liquer. Often refered to as a marathon drink due to its low-octane alcohol content (50 proof), four or five glasses of hte following recipes should prove sufficient for soothing heat and humidity-frazzled nerves. The Pimm's Cup is a colonial British classic, born under Carribean skies and still guzzled at Surrey lawn parties. Our other suggestions below are more modern, pleasing to both the Empire of yore and the novelty seekers of today. Pimp swish booze bling at your next croquet party with these unique thirst quenchers.

PIMM'S CUP

2 oz. Pimm's No. 1 / 1 t. Cointreau / 2 oz. fresh lime juice / Sprite / cucumber slices for garnish

Put lime juice in a chilled Collins glass. Fill with ice. Add Pimm's and Cointreau. Fill to the top with Sprite and garnish with cucumber.


BACON AND TOMATO SANDWICH

We have no clue as to the origins of this intriguingly named cocktail, but like it best mixed in large quantities in a thermos and packed to go for a picnic in June.

2 jiggers Pimm's No. 1 / 1 jigger white rum / 1 jigger dark rum / 2 jiggers lemonade

Mix all together and serve over ice.
