Seasonal & Spontaneous

By David Kinch

“Strawberries and cucumber are the base ingredients, while corn whiskey and Pimm’s No. 1 Cup are there to elevate the sweetness of the strawberries and the soft, crunchy texture of the cucumber. The result, while unusual, is a crisp and refreshing kicker.” – Jeff Bareilles, Beverage Director at Manresa

  • 4 (2-inch-long) English cucumber sticks

SERVINGS: 1

Muddle the strawberries, cucumber, bitters, and Sirop JM in a pint glass. Add the Pimm’s and corn whiskey to the same glass and set aside. Put 3 ice cubes in a pilsner glass and add the ginger beer. Fill the pint glass with ice, hard-shake for 15 to 20 seconds, and strain carefully onto the ice in the pilsner glass to form two distinct layers.
