    Strawberry Pimm's Cup with Citrus, Cucumber, & Mint

    Here's a little life truth: it's perfectly acceptable to enjoy a cocktail before 5PM when the cocktail includes enough fresh produce to double as your afternoon snack!

    Remember last summer, when I shared the recipe for the signature cocktail from our wedding - gin & tonics with cucumber, mint, and lime?

    Well cucumber and mint are back, but this time we're pairing them with oranges and lemons because why not? And then we're cramming in as many strawberries as we can because why not? And we're swapping the gin and tonic for Pimm's and ginger ale because trying new things is fun.

    This cocktail is super refreshing, and with the unofficial start of summer just over a week away, I think I've found my signature cocktail of summer 2016!

        Yes you do! I've always enjoyed them at restaurants, but this was my first time making one at home. It's the most refreshing summer cocktail, and such a treat 🙂
