Gather Ingredients
To make traditional British Pimms you need a bottle of Pimms liqueur, a large serving jug, some sparkling lemonade, cucumber, fresh mint leaves, orange segments, and strawberries.
Get The Ratios Right
The trick is to get the right amount of Pimms to lemonade. The traditional ratio is 1 part Pimms to 3 parts sparkling lemonade. This makes it a light and refreshing drink that you can enjoy throughout the day. Pour them into the serving jug to distribute later.
Prepare Fruit
Slice the cucumber into thin circles, cut the strawberries into halves, and isolate each segment of orange.
Serve
Pimms is usually prepared in a large jug. When the Pimms and lemonade have been prepared, pop each of the fruits into the drink and give the jug a swirl. Then, pour the cocktail out into tall glasses and enjoy!
