Southwestern Pimm's Cup

First blended in London more than a hundred years ago, the Pimm's cup has become a British tradition. This Southwestern version of the drink form the Liberty Bar in San Antonio pairs zesty grapefruit juice with the sweet bouquet of Pimm's No. 1, a gin-based spirit infused with herbs and spices.

1 1/4 ounces Pimm's No. 1
2 1/2 ounces Ruby Red grapefruit juice
Nopalitos

In cocktail glass, mix Pimm's No. 1 and grapefruit juice. Garnish with nopalitos (nopal cactus pieces). Serve on the rocks or with juice well chilled. Serves 1.
