Need to cool off during the steamy summer season? There are only two words you should remember when heading out to the bar tonight with friends: pineapple and Pimms. Is it possible to combine both ingredients for one luscious and tangy heat buster? Of course, especially if you create the famous Pineapple Pimms. This simple cocktail, a favorite among patrons at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, is a yummy cooler that features fresh juice from sun kissed pineapples, lemon sour for a touch of zest, and ice cold rum. The main highlight of this irresistible number is Pimm’s No.1, a gin-based liquor from England prepared with a medley of fruits and spices. The result is a tropical elixir that’s perfect for putting humidity in its place while dancing the night away at a beach or rooftop bash. Savor each drop of Pinepple Pimms slowly because like summer, it will instantly disappear before you know it.
