Pimm's No. 1 Cup

One of the most quintessentially British summer drinks is becoming increasingly popular on the continent: Pimm's No. 1 Cup. This recipe was provided by Peter Eichhorn.

Ingredients
50 ml Pimm's No. 1
120 ml lemonade or ginger ale
1 orange wheel
2-3 cucumber slices
fresh mint
1 strawberry (if desired)

Method>:

  • Put ice cubes in a highball glass, add Pimm's No. 1, orange, cucumber, some mint leaves and strawberries and stir.
  • Top up with lemonade or ginger ale and garnish with a sprig of mint.
  • If you like it a little stronger, you can add a dash of gin.

Tip:

Champagne instead of lemonade makes a Pimm's Royale.
