I am hoping that the ingredients in this cocktail, more commonly known as the Pimm’s Cup, will replenish my weary being.  I don’t mean the alcohol, Silly!  I mean the fruits and vegetables, of course.  (Insert wink emoji here.)

I had my first Pimm’s Cup in Brighton, England.  An afternoon storm brought a heavy downpour which totally drenched us and ruined our plans to enjoy the seashore.  We ducked inside a museum where they happened to be selling cocktails, and by the time we were done, the sun came out to save the day.  We were re-invigorated!  And I cannot wait to feel optimistic again!  Cheers!

Stir together 1 1/2 ounce Pimm’s Cup No. 1, 1/2 ounce simple syrup, and 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice.  Add to tall glass filled with ice cubes and garnishes (cucumber slices, orange wheels, strawberry halves) and top off with club soda.
