You Definitely Wanna Bookmark This Pumptini Recipe Before The VPR S11 Premiere
The first time I bellied up to the SUR bar — with everyone's favorite manager, Peter standing off in the corner, absolutely macking on a beautiful blonde woman — I knew what needed to be done. If I'm in West Hollywood, I'm getting a Pumptini — no question about it. There's just something so fun and fantastical about sipping this sugar-rimmed cocktail I've watched my faves sling at the SUR for season after season.
Unfortunately, I live all the way across the country from the ever-dramatic, ever-exciting Vanderpump hotspot, leaving the Pumptini a plane ride away. There's no way I could head to my neighborhood NYC bar and ask for the Lisa Vanderpump special, could I?
As Vanderpump Rules Season 11 nears, I was in desperate need of an at-home Pumptini recipe ASAP. If Jax Taylor can make it, surely I can hack it myself at home, right? After scouring the internet — and some highly necessary VPR rewatches for research 😉 — I found the perfect Pumptini recipe.
So if James Kennedy shouting, "Another Pumptini," lives in your head rent-free, this one's for you. Here's the Pumptini recipe, perfect for all your happy hour, VPR watch party, and just-because-I-need-a-drink needs! Cheers!
