Great for a hot summer day in the south. The recipe called for 2 ounces Pimms, 3 ounces Lemonade or Sour Mix, and 7-up. Mix Pimms and Lemonade over ice in a Collins glass then top off with 7-up and garnish with a cucumber. Makes me want to have one tonight. Thanks for the informative article.

As well as the fortified Pimm's cup. <br /> <br /> Robert, I forgot to mention that my friend likes his Pimm's with cucumber slices in addition to fruit. Another sort of cool flavor in the mix.

I relly like Pimm's cup as you describe, but I also like it this way:<br /> <br /> 2oz. pimms no.1 <br /> 1.5 oz gin<br /> 3 oz fresh made lemonade (the american-style lemonade, not seven-up)<br /> <br /> serve over ice in a pint glass. <br /> <br /> You can also sub amer picon or torani amer for the pimm's and have a basque lemonade. <br /> <br /> Great article.

And with the weather still fairly hot across the country, I can think of no better way to cool off and relax after a hard day's work...

It has been a favorite of mine since my semi-English college roommate introduced it to me many years ago. It is indeed hard to get it done right in a bar. I just enjoy it at home, especially this time of year. Thanks for the excellent and concise dissertation on Pimm’s.
