My version of a Pimm's cup,
which I'm calling my Pimm's cup floweth over.
Now, Pimm's is a very particular thing.
You pretty much, it's a gin based spirit
and it's got lots of different flavors and herbs in it
but you really only use it for a Pimm's cup.
So if you don't want to go out
and buy a whole bottle of Pimm's for a Pimm's cup,
which is like the kind of thing you drink at Wimbleton,
or if you're going to a polo match
or something fancy like that.
Oh, we do that all the time.
No, we just drink it in our backyard in the summer
but you can also fake it
by making your own Pimm's substitute at home.
I would do a,
and this stuff you probably have laying around.
Anyway, if you,
A traditional Pimm's cup, just to clarify for them is.
Pimm's cup is Pimm's topped with,
in England they call it lemonade,
but basically it's sparkling lemon lime soda,
or ginger ale.
That's Pimm's cup.
And that's the whole thing.
They stick a cucumber in it.
Yeah the fun part of Pimm's cups
is that you can garnish them with
a whole bunch of different things.
Apples, cucumbers, citrus, mint, borage.
If you have borage growing on your backyard.
Yeah, again no.
But anyway, if you don't wanna buy Pimm's
and you have these three ingredients anyway,
and your liquor cabinet. You can fake it.
You can fake it and make,
Till you make it.
Pimm's number one.
What I would do is do one part gin,
one part red vermouth or sweet vermouth,
and a half a part of orange cure of any kind.
And that's going kind of taste a little bit like Pimm's,
Pimm's number one.
Okay. It's only an hour long show.
Can we make something?
Yes. Okay.
We're gonna make this Pimm's cup.
So this,
Oh, he's gonna use the Pimm's.
I'm using the Pimm's.
Cuz we only have an hour show.
You're gonna put,
He doesn't have to fake it.
Very simple.
Put Pimm's at the bottom of a glass.
Oh I could say so many things right there.
(audience laughs)
I'm gonna just make this a little fruitier
by putting in about a half an ounce each
of orange, lemon, and lime juice,
freshly squeezed at all times.
Oh so now it's a smoothie
and it's really good for you.
Well, I don't know.
That's not bad for you.
I'm just joking, Jim.
It is April fool's day.
Then we're gonna fill that with ice and add our soda.
And I don't wanna disappoint anyone who wrote letters.
So I'm gonna spill,
Look at how much
Spill stuff all over the counter.
I don't even know if you could look, look at that.
Now they, they, the other day we're in studio
and someone talked about this trick where you're
supposed to, if you have a bar spoon,
Ben, Ben.
Yeah, Ben who's in the kitchen,
a bar spoon twirls around and there's supposed to be
this method whereby you pour a carbonated beverage
down that little twirly thing.
So it keeps the bubbles in and it doesn't overflow
Like Selma Hayek, in from Dust Till Dawn.
When George Clooney drinks the beer off her foot, that.
So this is,
Oh if you didn't see it, watch it, its good.
This is absolutely not gonna work
but I'm gonna give it a shot here.
Oh my God.
He's gonna make an even bigger mess.
Look, it's completely not working.
(audience applause)
All right. Forget that.
Should pour it in.
So you do that.
Then you take the spoon and you do that.
And then you garnish it
with your fruits and veggies.
And that's your Pimm's cup.
(Audience applause)
Okay, honey. I'm good. I'm good.
You good? You don't want some oranges, some lemons?
We got some pomegranate here.
Maybe some pineapple.
Oh my God.
Here. Please get away from me.
Wait I wanna throw it in there.
I'm good.
Ah, almost made it.
All right, cheers.
Wow. (Audience applause)
Hm. Very yummy, honey.
Thank you.
(Audience applause)
Clean up aisle four.
(Audience applause and cheering)
