Pimms

I've made "my own" Pimms *for years* (actually after clearing out my late grandmother's house and finding an old bottle from the 40-50's that was 32% ABV) using a recipe of:

 

2 parts gin

2 parts red vermouth

1 part orange curacao

 

Now, I make quite a bit of sloe gin, but [heresy]I'm not that great a fan of it[/heresy] - I prefer the "slider" and "slerry" made fro the steeped berries. SO what to do with the gin?

 

Playing around last night, I came up with "Slimms":

 

2 parts sloe gin

2 parts dry vermouth (the driest, best quality you can find - it's still alright with Tesco own brand)

1 part orange curacao.

 

This, is a very nice, summery drink (with lemonade and seasonal fruit garnish). But even better was the "Slimms Royale" which was *amazing* and comprised:

 

1 part "Slimms"

1 part triple sec/Cointreau

Ginger ale to taste
