The Acapulco Cup, a Twist On The Pimm’s cup

The Acapulco Cup

Get your vintage sunnies on, pack your beach towel, and a truck load of sunscreen ’cause we’re about to hit Acapulco! Well, we’ll hit it in in the shape of a cocktail.

This spin on the classic Pimm’s Cup is EXACTLY what you need to keep your summer crew happy and (buzzed) hydrated. Instead of using the usual strawbs and lemon, I switched it up a bit using fresh watermelon, cucumber juice, lime juice, and some mint and basil as garnish for a extra fresh touch. You can make a huge jug of it for your dinner party OR one (or a few) for yourself.

This cocktail packs some serious vintage beach vibes that will make you feel like you’re vacationing like the big stars of the olden days.

I share the full recipe and other photos on West Elm’s blog Front & Main. Go giiiit it!

Cheers, my little liz taylors of the new millennium.
