Mark and I went on a little adventure last weekend to restock our bar. It was starting to look a little low so we popped by our favourite little European style bottle shop and picked up some goodies. We then ventured to Acland Street Cellars in St.Kilda, who are apparently opening up an on-line store soon, very exciting! Anyway while we were in Acland Street Cellars, we discovered that they had not just normal Pimm's Cup #1 but also Pimm's Cup #3!!!

To make yourself a Pimm's #3 Winter Cup you will need:
- 150ml / 5oz Pimms No. 3 Winter Cup
- 400ml / 14oz apple juice
- 1 apple, sliced in to small chunks
- ½ an orange, sliced in to chunks
- 1 cinnamon stick
While researching more above the spiced and warming Pimm's #3 Winter Cup, we discovered the lovely Pimm's teapot cosy as seen above! They were promotional gifts in the U.K but I may have to pull my knitting needles out and make my own!
So if you are looking for a lovely winter drink to warm you in the cooler months, give this one a go!
