H&F House Pimm's Cup

Contributed by Greg Best

SERVINGS: makes 1 drink

Greg Best calls New Orleans “the American hometown of the Pimm’s Cup.” (The city’s 200-year-old Napoleon House is known for its version of the drink.) Paying homage to this heritage, Best flavors this ginger ale–based riff on the drink with Peychaud’s bitters, another New Orleans signature.
