This is the drink that I am most proud of because it was the first drink I made that broke the general rule of using spirit, sugar, and citrus.

And what is great about using an aged balsamic vinegar is that it carries both the citrus and sweet components needed for the cocktail.

Who says that Pimm's is just for Pimm's Cups? Add Champagne, and it becomes an especially refreshing punch. Pimm's was created in the 1840s by an English oyster bar owner, and it became one of the most popular beverages in England. The exact recipe is a secret, but we do know that it is a gin-based liqueur flavored with spices and fruit. It is generally consumed in the Pimm's Cup with ginger ale and a fancy fruit garnish. This party punch takes it one step farther, letting it macerate with fruit and then adding Champagne rather than soda.
