SFist Drinks: The Pimm’s #3 at Range
Since it’s now, surprisingly, already Memorial Day weekend, you might as well celebrate the passage of time and the dawn of summer with this twist on a traditional English country summer refresher: the Pimm’s Cup. The version at Range, created by bar manager Jeff Lyon, features the addition of a ginger snap liqueur for added spice notes, but it’s just as refreshing as the original, long beloved classic. Try this and a bevy of other inspired, market-fresh drinks at one of our favorite restaurant bars in town.
Pimm’s # 3
2 oz. Pimm’s
1/2 oz. Snap (ginger snap liqueur)
1/2 oz. lemon
cucumber
Fever Tree ginger ale
Muddle small chunk of cucumber in the bottom of a glass. Add all ingredients but the ginger ale and shake. Fine strain into pilsner glass filled with ice. Top with ginger ale. Garnish with 3 cucumber slices and a lemon wedge.
