For those who have never tried it, this is a traditional English summer drink to be enjoyed in the sunshine around 5 o'clock in the evening, aka Pimm's o'clock! We got the pitcher as a housewarming present from PC's Aunt Kathy. This is definitely going to be put to use this spring!
What you'll need:
- 1 Large pitcher
- 1 Punnet of strawberries - stalk removed, washed and cut in half lengthways
- 1 Orange - washed, cut in half lengthways and sliced
- 1 Cucumber - washed and cut into thick strips (optional... PC is not a fan!)
- 1 handful of mint - washed thoroughly and
- 1 Bottle of Pimm's No.1
- 1 Bottle of lemonade or as they say in the US 7up or Sprite soda
- 1 Bottle of soda water / club soda
- Ice cubes
- Tall glasses to serve
How it's done:
Put the fruit, including the mint into the pitcher.
Add a handful of cubed ice.
Add 2 part Pimm's to 1 part lemonade and 1 part soda water. The usual method is 1 part Pimm's to two parts mixer but I prefer it a bit stronger :)
Give it a good old stir.
Pour into as many tall glasses as it'll serve!
Enjoy in the sunshine
