Description

Pimm's Cup is the sort of drink that makes sense from the first sip. The recipe combines Pimm's No.1, Lemonade, and Cucumber. Bubbles keep the serve open and refreshing, so the richer or sweeter elements stay light on the palate.

It fits naturally into aperitif hour, garden drinks, parties or any round where you want flavour without a heavy finish. Use fresh ice and serve promptly so the texture and aroma arrive at their best.
