All about the All Stars
The All Stars is a spirit-forward mix that showcases the charm of Gin, Pimms Cup No 1, Orange Curacao, and Sweet Vermouth. It’s typically stirred with Ice Cubes and served in a chilled Cocktail Glass. What makes this drink interesting is its blend of bright citrus and warming spices, softened by the botanicals in the Gin and the herbal depths of Pimms. It’s all about balance-one sip delivers zest, another herbal complexity, and everything feels purposefully put together.
All Stars greets you with caramelized sweetness mingling with orchard fruits. Every sip unites zingy citrus, warming spices, and a smooth, balanced depth for an experience that’s layered and silky.
- Chill Your Glass Pop your Cocktail Glass in the freezer before you start. This keeps your All Stars icy and smooth from the first sip to the last.
- Use Cracked Ice Smash up regular Ice Cubes for your Mixing Glass. Cracked Ice chills the drink faster and won’t water it down.
- Hard Shake Shake the ingredients with a little air and energy. Listen for the ice to crack-that’s your sign the mix is properly chilled.
- Fresh Citrus Add a splash of fresh Lemon Juice and a couple of dashes of Orange Bitters to brighten the whole drink.
- Double Strain Use both a Julep Strainer and a Fine Mesh Strainer for a silky result.
- Flavorful Rim Lightly rim the glass with Lemon and a mix of Demerara Sugar and Cinnamon for an extra touch of spice.
- Expressed Orange Peel Drop a wide strip of Orange Peel over the surface and twist to release oils, then flame it lightly for caramel aroma.
- Cucumber Ribbon A fresh Cucumber Ribbon adds visual interest and pairs well with the Pimms notes.
- Cinnamon Sugar Rim Lightly rim the Cocktail Glass with Lemon, dip in a mix of Demerara Sugar and ground Cinnamon for a subtle extra layer.
