One cocktail

    ingredients
  • 1 ½ ounces Hayman’s Sloe Gin

  • 5 muddled mint leaves
  • Ginger ale to top

  • Invented in England in the 1880s, the gin-based liqueur Pimm’s was typically mixed with carbonated lemonade. The Pimm’s Cup eventually found its way across the pond where New Orleans’ Napoleon House bar favored ginger ale and a cucumber garnish to great acclaim. At Hot Tin, LeBas muddles mint leaves with sloe gin and Campari, infusing the refreshing cocktail with bitter, herbal notes for a modern riff.
