Pimm’s

When the weather heats up in England on those long days of summer you’ll find most pubs offering a drink on their menus - Pimm’s. You can buy it by the glass or pitcher and usually it’s a jug filled to the brim with the mix you’ll find in today’s recipe.

Best served with a bunch of friends whilst sitting outside and likely having at least one person complain that it’s just too hot and they know the forecast is rain in the next day or two. That’s how the locals like to ‘enjoy’ the hot weather alongside a tall glass filled with Pimms and stuffed with an array of fruit to add layers of flavor and spice.

Ingredients and substitutions for the best Pimms

• Pimm’s: This 25% gin based liqueur, includes quinine (the ingredient found in tonic) making it a perfect companion to lemonade.
• Lemonade: Lemonade soda works best here to add bubbles and sweetness and works best alongside the abundance of garnishes.
• Garnishes: This seems an understatement, but Pimm’s is not the same without an abundance of fresh slices of strawberries, cucumber, orange and sprigs of mint…these are an essential! But you can choose which you prefer here...you don't have to include them all.
