Josh Prout, bar manager at The County General, knows a summer cocktail when he sees it and it doesn't get any more iconic than the Pimm's Cup. A staple at BBQs, picnics and just about any other social event in the UK, the Pimm's Cup is growing in popularity across the world thanks to its refreshing taste and drink-ability. The best part: you can add in whatever seasonal garnishes you like to give it your own unique touch. Here Prout keeps the garnishes simple and adds his own flare via lavender bitters and ginger beer:
