Pimm's Winter Cup

Pimm's Winter Cup

Pimm's Winter Cup takes the aromatics of its older sibling (Pimm's No. 1 Cup) and provides a richer base in the form of brandy and extra spices, resulting in a sweet, rich drink that seems perfect for the winter months. This combines beautifully with the apple juice to create a fruity, aromatic drink with a wonderful warming quality. The extra citrus and cinnamon further enhance the depth of flavour, and also provide an extra treat at the end of the drink in the form of soft chunks of apple full of Pimm's flavour.

This drink can also be served over ice. A little brandy can be added to the cups, if desired.

150ml / 5oz Pimms No. 3 Winter Cup (brandy base)
400ml / 14oz apple juice
1 apple, sliced into small chunks
1/2 an orange, sliced into chunks
1 cinnamon stick

Add all ingredients to a pan and gently heat until just simmering. Remove cinnamon stick and pour mixture in to a large jug. Serve in heat-proof glasses or mugs.
