Cheers to a Healthier Happy Hour

The summer months are upon us and who doesn't love enjoying a cocktail in the sunshine? I'm not exactly sure if it's okay that a future dietician is about to rave about her favorite summer cocktail, but oh well. It's just so good. Now, it goes without saying that drinking should be done in responsible moderation, and never forget that Uber is just an iPhone swipe away.
With all that being said, you MUST try this (slimmed down) Pimm's Cup!
For a little background, I used to live in London, and a Pimm's Cup is a very English drink (starring the English liqueur, Pimm's). I apologize to all of my English friends for being a wanker and changing the
traditional version to this less sugary version.
It's really the easiest thing to make. I suggest adding whatever fruits you want to your Cup, but try to make sure you have a slice of cucumber, sprig of mint, and some kind of citrus. That being said, the more fruits the merrier because once you've finished the drink you can eat all the fruit (so it's healthy now, right?)
Pour an ounce and half of Pimm's into a tall glass with ice. Top the glass off with equal parts natural sparkling lemonade and soda water. Add any fruits you like, stir, and sip. Cheers!
