We’re number one

in food

I finally purchased some Pimm’s.

The story about how I became obsessed with acquiring Pimm’s is extremely boring so I won’t reproduce it here. It is enough to say that the moment this afternoon when I retrieved a case of Tremont Ale, stood on it, and reached up onto a high, neglected shelf at The Wine and Cheese Cask to retrieve my dusty prize was a highlight of the week.

The Pimm’s cocktail, as we interpreted it:

  • 1 highball glass, half-filled with ice
  • 2.5 oz Pimm’s No. 1
  • .5oz Drambuie
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Club soda
  • Sprig of mint

    have you had the Pimm’s cup at the Middlesex Lounge? I think there’s cucumbers in it.
