Our first cocktail this evening is the Old Tom Fruit Cup. We’ve come to the end of summer and the weather today is very changeable, but I thought a farewell to summer with a last fruit cup would be a fitting end.
This is perhaps the most “English” fruit cup after the original Pimm’s Fruit Cup{/link]. It uses Old Tom gin instead of Pimm’s which makes it a bit sweeter.
