Scale
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) Pimm's
- 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) lemonade
- 2 cucumber spears
- 2 slices orange
- 2 slices lime
- 2 slices lemon
- 1/4 apple, diced
- 2 strawberries, quartered
- 2 sprigs fresh mint
- Ice cubes to serve
Instructions
- Divide your fruits, cucumber and mint between the glasses.
- Drop a couple of ice cubes into each glass.
- In a pitcher, mix the Pimm’s with the lemonade.
- Pour it into the prepared glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
- As noted above, if you can’t find Pimm’s, try using sweet (red) vermouth instead. 2.
- Use as many or as few of the fruit garnishes as you like.
- Purists say only the mint and citrus is required, but the others are very commonly used. 3.
- If you’re having a party, simply increase the amounts above, using the proportions of 3 parts lemonade to 1 part Pimm’s, as indicated on the bottle. 4.
- Lemonade in the UK is similar to 7-Up or Sprite in the US.
- Schweppes seems to be the most popular brand here. 5.
- To make a Pimm’s Royale, use champagne (or sparkling wine) in lieu of the lemonade. 6.
- Catering for kids, designated drivers and/or pregnant moms-to-be?
- Try making these with fig syrup instead of the Pimm’s.
- In the south of France, they have a lovely non-alcoholic drink called a Gambetta, which is essentially just that.
