2 strawberry halves
Fresh mint sprig
1–2 oz lemon-lime soda or sparkling water (to top)

In a wine glass or tumbler, combine the white wine, Pimm’s, and orange liqueur.

Notes from the Bar
Choose the Wine
A crisp, dry white wine works best here. Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are perfect. Avoid wines that are too sweet, since the soda and fruit already add brightness.
Pimm’s Character
Pimm’s No. 1 is a gin-based liqueur with herbal and citrus notes. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit, making this cocktail feel both refreshing and complex.
Make It a Pitcher
This drink scales up beautifully. Multiply everything by 4–6 and serve in a large pitcher for parties or warm-weather gatherings.
Seasonal Fruit Swaps
Swap in whatever fruit looks best at the market, peaches, raspberries, or even watermelon cubes are delicious additions.
