Annie Williams Pierce’s take on a Pimm’s Cup pairs blanco tequila and amontillado sherry, with a stop in the kitchen pantry for raspberry preserves. The drink gets an extra bit of levity courtesy of sea salt and fresh mint; the requisite cucumber comes from Fever-Tree Refreshingly Light Cucumber Tonic Water.
